Ravelympics 2008


Ravelry is in the midst of the Olympics. All our knitting and crocheting projects for the next 1o days will be in a race to see who gets finished what and when.
I have 3 pairs of socks on the needles which will be projects already started but will be able to enter them too.
Will be making a couple of baby sweaters and about 5 preemie hats. Will make 4 more pairs of little socks for Knitting4CanadianSoldiers who give out to the Afghanistan children.
Found a pretty shawl pattern which I am going to try out to see how I like it.
Would make a nice gift for a pretty little girl.
Happy knitting everyone and let the races begin on August 8th at 7am for me. Opening ceremonies in Bejing

SKP2008 Berlin Muester sock #2

This is a picture of my Berlin Muester socks made for the SKP2008 Sock Challenge.
Opal yarn and 64 stitches. Nice pattern and they fit.
I find it is so important for the socks to fit as I do not like socks that slip down when I walk.
Started May 1st progress picture $64 and finished socks May 12 completed photo #47
