The Knitting Olympics

Well, I'm off to join the Olympics.


Yes, and you can too. Just follow the link over to the Yarnharlot to read about it and post your entry to the competition.

I can't wait to be a part of this. As, you may know, I am new to knitting, have only been knitting since shortly before the holidays. Recently, I joined a group run By Iris Schreier author of "Modular Knits". Her new style of modular knitting really looked interesting to me so I figured I'd give it a try and get her book. Unfortunately, it took me couple weeks to get the book, so I have started it yet. I figured the Olympics would be the perfect time to start. I'd like to do a project from her for my competition. Now, a lot depends on how I do on the swatches in her book for the different geometry pieces. but if I'm having some trouble learning it or am just slow to get it done I'll use her "Multi-Directional Scarf" from her book as my competitive peice. Now, if I'm able to get the swatches done and the scarf prior to the Olympics, I want to make her "Silky Tie Wrap" from the January 2006 edition of Creative Knitting.
