Cast-on is still my favourite and I couldn't wait to listen to this week's new instalment. Brenda is just so good to listen to and her choice of songs is so varied and such good fun. This week she was talking about the Knitting Olympics. I had already heard of this via some of the forums that I am a member and have subscribed, although I do wish there was a Scottish contingent so that we can have our own team. Brenda has team Wales, there's team USA, team Canada, and also team Caffeine. Maybe I should design my own button and start up the Celtic Knitters team. No we wouldn't be soccer fans who knit, but Celts who knit, there is a big difference.
In previous posts I have mentioned the sweater that I am doing for Eva at Shilasdair. I had started it, but it was driving me mad, so have decided to put it down, rip it out and start as a project for the knitting olympics. I should be able to finish it in the alloted time, or should I say I have to finish in the alloted time, because it is required asap. I do agree that it is a bit of a pointless exercise, but it is going to be enormous fun. Imagine thousands of knitters all casting on at the same time, and with only one goal, to complete a project within a set time span. It's a shame that it hasn't been widely publicised, because it would be great to see knitters getting together for at least some of the time.
P.S. I've quickly made a button if anyone wants to snag it or make it their own. Remember, right click and save to your own site before using.

I snagged your button. If I can ever get them up I will have quite a collection. LOL
If I can find my pattern I'm going to make the Halloween Sweater from Mary Maxim that I started years ago. I figure 16 days should give me a good start to finish the sweater.
When I get a chance I'm going to put it in the side bar with other ones. I have to snag some more myself.
I am terrible. I have no idea how to add the sidebar to my blog.
I was able to get the other buttons on my siggy on the forum. Whenever I get the chance I'm going to try and get yours up also.
Still can't find the pattern for the sweater. If I can't I know I have pleanty of socks I can finish or baby sweaters to knit in the timeframe of the Olympics.
My side bar was part of the design of the blog. I just copied and pasted the rest, then changed what I wanted. Once you learn to read HTML, then it is fairly straight forward :-)
I am so lousy at HTML. One of these day's I'll figure out how to do it. I probably need to have Fiona help me.
