So, the Olympic Games came to a close last night - and so did the Ravellenic Games!  The Olympics were fantastic, and I will have so many good memories from these games! I barely squeaked by the finish line with my sweater: It still needs some finishing touches, though, so it's not technically 'finished', but… Continue reading Ravellenic Games – The End!

I started the right sleeve yesterday! Remember yesterday when I showed you that I did my v-neck decreases the wrong way?Well, I caved and went ahead and fixed the v-neck decreases.  I didn't account for the stickiness of the wool yarn, which made it much easier to accomplish that I was expecting!  It only took… Continue reading Ravellenic Games Update #6

So, I've made a bit of progress since the last post - not as much as I'd like, but we're getting there!

Here's where I left off last night: I didn't get as… Continue reading Ravellenic Games Update #3

I've been chugging away at my sweater.  As of last night I am 49 rows into the pattern.  Whew!  I'm still not sure I'm working fast enough to finish in time, but I'm doing my best, and that's all that counts, right? Day 3 progress: Day 4 progress: I've placed the scrap yarn for the… Continue reading Ravellenic Games Update #2

So, at around 6pm on July 27th (after the Opening Ceremonies had started), I casted on for my Olympic Venezia Cardigan! Then, while watching the (non-live! boo NBC!) Opening Ceremonies that evening, I got a bit done: I enjoyed the ceremonies, but was a tad bit disappointed. I loved the forging of the rings, and… Continue reading Ravellenic Games Update #1
