After a wild ride and the elation of giving myself gold, how do you settle for a bronze? Mike and I haven’t gotten together in ages, so I piled all my knitting into a bag and headed for the beach…
Yes, this is what the inside of my knitting bag looks like. There is a drop spindle, buttons, labels and about 6 pairs of needles also in this chaos. I considered the beach knitting an homage to add the great beach volleyball players currently working towards medal standings. Kidding, again, not considering that an Olympic sport any more than my knitting really is.
And while only achieving a bronze due to having fun and hanging out….I am proud of the work put out there.
A hat from my own hand spun stash….
A cherry blossom scarf finished, the weaving in of ends alone was deserving…..
Two fall hand spuns. Time to start introducing the greens and rusts back into the fold.
And for my own non competition round…continuing on my free form scarf. Which Habib is enjoying hiding under…
I am at least going for silver today…..Well rested ample ambition and inspired by the absolutely wonderful performances of our men’s gymnastic guys yesterday. Really strong performances, great outfits, but just not quite enough………Baseball however—–we rock—-seriously 10-0 game….Go Canada!
