Sooooo...

i've entered the yarn olympics on the yarn harlot website. i am going to complete the baby blanket that i started a year ago with my sister for our nephew, who is now almost 14 months. the olympics stretches from today, february 12, to february 28, 17 days from now. i had 7 squares of 49 completed, leaving 42 to go. i just completed another, leaving 41. i will keep track of my progress on this website. this is less a test of my skill and more a test of my stimina- that's a lot of knitting. however, to get in the spirit, LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

so cool...

so SWMBO and the cuteness went to see YarnHarlot when she visited Minnesota... And they got their picture on YarnHarlot's blog! and, doubleplusbonus, the blanket i made for the cuteness made it in the picture too! so very cool...
