Ravelympics


Well, something had to get me off my lazy summer duff and working to complete this blanket! Just in time, Ravelry came through and inspired me to give it a go. I have entered this project into the WIP Wrestling group of Ravelympics; and believe me, it's wrestling I will have to do. The goal is to finish the blanket by the end of the closing ceremony in Beijing.

So, I am currently working to surround each log cabin rectangle with "background" color. The stitches remain live, with white cotton yarn pulled through in place of the needles. When I finish this stack of remaining rectangles, determination of their placement will begin. Only after that step will I know what still needs to be created in the way of rectangles to complete the blanket. And then, of course, the daunting task of seaming!

If you have WIPs that you want to finish, consider knitting along! I'd love to have your company!

Thank you so much for the encouragement, gals! Jane, I wish I knew!! Seaming is still stewing in my pea brain; just not sure how I am going to do it. But, if I ever stop cooking and babysitting, I may get to knit, and finish this! We'll probably all find out about the same time, just what's going to happen. :)
