If you surf the discussion forums on Ravelry, you will know all about the Ravellenic Games when the Ravelry users knit and crochet and spin to their hearts content in honor of, and while watching the Olympic Games. There are plenty of events, from WIP Wrestling to the Bag & Tote Backstroke and you post your finished items as though you were competing in an event. Its tons of fun, and all in the spirit of enjoying the Olympics no matter where you live, or what yarnie craft you do.
Since I'm packing to move to a new home (next week!) I haven't had much free time for knitting, but it rained today so I got out a project to finish at work. I started this cabled cap from Knitting Simple way back in February 2010. At the time, my father was helping me get my house in Virginia spruced up to put it on the market, and we had 2 blizzards in a row. My power went out, and I spent a little time working on this cabled cap to go along with a grey Prismatic Scarf (available on Ravelry) I had knitted for him and finished January 2010. Apparently I never took a photo of the finished scarf though and I'm bummed about that.
Pattern: Cabled Cap, Knit Simple Winter 2006 / 2007
Yarn: Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Bulky, Pewter (less than one skein)
Needles: US10
It's two years late, but its finished! He will be here this week to help me get settled in the new house so its kind of ironic timing. Hope he likes it!
