Day 4

Vest_day4You know, I’m seriously enjoying these Olympic games.  I finished the transition section with the two colors of orange last night.  This whole two handed knitting is getting more and more comfortable as I progress through the vest.  I do have to say that I’m am sooooo very glad that I trained for this event. 

I’m now in love with color in knitting!  I spent some time yesterday looking at Dale of Norway designs, especially after Cara posted a link to a Dale kit.  Now I really, really want to make one.  Like I need another project.  Have I finally gone around the deep end?  Have I lost grip of my senses?  Aw darn.  I should never have looked up that link.  Ingeborg3Now I have the darn sweater in Colorway 3 in a cart, orderform filled out.  Aw hell, by the time most of you have read this, I will have submitted the order. Might as well have Carole add the 16 skeins in the kit to my count.  I’m weak, I tell you! That price isn’t bad, more than I’ve spent on a single sweater, but but but, it’s gorgeous!  I can only begin to imagine the use I’d get out of it… and the price includes the pattern book which has some lovely designs including Hardangervidda. Stop toggling browser tabs and focus, Risa.  Focus.

Sara kept me company while I to the games last night.  She very much liked the figure skating, but wasn’t so keen on the skiing.
