As many of you are aware…the Yarn Harlot has called on all knitters to gather for the Knitting Olympics on February 10th for 16 days of knitting challenge. Are you ready?

Just as an athlete trains & goes through compulsory exercises before “the” event…while I decide what new project to tackle for the Olympics I’m spending a little time in training – tackling some new stitch patterns, “practicing speed” with my standby dishcloth pattern, looking at all the bookmarked patterns I’ve saved in the last couple of months as I started browsing knitting blogs. It’s not an exciting picture but here is a sampling of some of the “training” that has been happening this weekend.
