Training...

for the knitting olympics. I wanted to jot down some notes about what I need to do before I can think about the project for the Olympics.

Part of the training will entail practicing more self-discipline. It's hard enough when certain people blog about their victorious LYS purchases and you've joined the stash a long. How much more self-restraint can I possibly have?

Hopefully enough that I can

1) finish the scarf exchange scarf and mittens (need 1/2 a mitten and 2/3 a scarf)
2) complete the fair isle section of fair isle jazz (3-4 more rows?)

and less importantly
3) finish the side panels and inner lining for spork

prior to the olympics. If I can accomplish the first two, then I'll be pretty happy and I'll join the Team USA for the knitting olympics...

I have several ideas of a project for the Knitting Olympics...
but I think the winner is the Lady Eleanor shawl from Scarf Style. I have the yarn already (some dyer's choice Interlacements, purchased from Estes wool festival last year). I figure it's challenging b/c it's over 1200 yards to knit, but there's very little finishing and only (hopefully) 2 ends to weave in (since it's one humongo hank o yarn).

what do you all think?
