While the Olympics is providing continual inspiration in every way possible it is just TOO EXCITING to make it possible to concentrate on designing anything...
My Mangrove Forest Shawl and Tobago cross over top have both reached the "complicated bit"... which I'm afraid means they've been sidelined while I automaton-like knit in-the-round stocking stitch on the body of the lovely Challow from wonderful Fyberspates.
Once the closing ceremony's over hopefully both patterns will accelerate towards completion!
Am off to the Dressage tomorrow - so exciting - team GB currently winning both team and individual and looking to build on the fantastic success in the showjumping today. Don't want to risk bringing my knitting - even the baby birch DPNs that don't cause trouble on the plane - partly due to security and partly due to the fact that I'll be finishing the day at Olympia for the Great British Beer festival. And I was at the Athletics on Saturday morning, which involved far too much screaming & flag-waving even for stocking stitch.
Two days at Lord's next week should be a more productive sport & knitting combo!
