Confessions of a Fugitive Mind

Olympic Spirit
For the past week, I've been mulling over the idea of participating in the Yarn Harlot's 2006 Knitting Olympics. The premise is simple: complete a project (from start to finish) during the 2006 Winter Olympics. The only catch is that it's supposed to be a challenge for you to complete during the 16 days of the tournament.
Today I finally decided that I would compete. My entry? The Jaywalker Socks from MagKnits. My very first pair of socks, ever. They're neither plain nor terribly complicated, and based on the reviews I've seen around the Web, I suspect a decent pattern to cut my teeth on. I've chosen something small because while I've been known to whip out giant kitty beds in a couple days, I've been struggling to knit more than a few rows a day lately.
So socks it is. Now I just have to gather my tools, start swatching, and wait for the opening ceremonies.

LOL. I absolutely love the name "Yarn Harlot" not to mention the idea of the knitting olympics :) I have a feeling you will have olympic sized problems with the kitties and the yarn.....
