Although far from athletic...I might be tempte
d to join the Winter Olymipics this year. My sport?
Knitting. I blame it all on The Harlot . She's hosting the Knitting Olymipcs, in which we (wait, am I doing this?) Knit something during the Olympics (Feb 10-26)...I mean, knit something only during the Olympics. And it's only Olympic worthy if it's challenging.
So the question is, what to knit (because I'm seriously considering this)? Well, I'd want to finish my cardigan and the Jaywalkers (and maybe even Backyard Leaves) before starting...but let's just say I did (because let's face it, you know I'm a KAL whore, so of course I'm going to join)...what would be my Olympic knit?
Here are the contenders:
Leaf Lace pullover (from Loop D Loop in Malabrigo)
Kiri (from KnitPicks yarn I already have)
Lady E (out of Noro Silk Garden or SWTC Karaoke, at a discount at my new job!)
Ene's Scarf from Scarf Style
I'm still thinking this over...let me know what you think and maybe later this week there'll be a blogpoll.
Olympics?

umm, I think any of those shawls are worthy challenges. you can't go wrong with whatever you choose. Me? I would probably go with Lady E or Ene
Or go with my version, the UFOlympics!
I love Lady E! However, they are all worthy of Olympic knitting!
I knitted the lace leaf pullover recently. It isn't too much of a challenge except for the part where you have to kitchener stitch the top and bottom half togeher. That part was CRAZY, and I had to get the owner of my mocal yarn store to do it for me. I chickened out.
I love the sweater though. I wear it as a winter coat almost everyday!
