i am done!

with the first sock...
and it only took me 2 weeks!
w00t!






sweet!
it's like, a real live wearable sock!
i could have finished it thursday night, but, i got to the point of grafting the toe, and well, i was so freakin tired...i'd never done the kitchner stitch before, and didn't want to do it half asleep...
so....i thought then, bummer that i wouldn't win a ravelympic medal for it...i mean, it was a lot of work, and it looks really good and it was my first sock! so somone from team i did, suggested that i enter it in the free dance event....this is where a project you knit doesn't fit any of the other even descriptions...and well, since i only knit 1 sock and not 1 pair of socks...i did!
and i also entered it in the cable cross country event...
here are my medals :)



sweet, no?

then friday i decided that i HAD to have at least 1 completed project for the ravelympics, so i cast on the koolhaas and i finished it yesterday



i entered this one in the cable cross country, the event hat half pipe, the single skein speed skate and the stash compulsory dance (where you've had the yarn for more than a year)
they haven't gotten thru to awarding all the medals yet, but, for this one i have already got the stash dance one



and i guess i already have the cable cross country one from the sock....

then i thought, why not knit a pair of mittens! i thought i could get them done in a day or so...but no....we went out last night, so that didn't happen...
but i still want mittens....so, i'll finish those and then make the 2nd sock....
or maybe i'll finish those and start the argyle scarf for me...
or the afghan for lissa's new baby girl due in july

i'll just frame my first sock...yeah...no need for a 2nd one....
