Well the time is drawing near....the Olympics start tomorrow....so the ravelympics start tomorrow at 7:00am (local time). I think I'm readying. I have wound my yarn into a cake (800 yds of laceweight took awhile). I do need to find my pattern again. I'm in the Shawl Relay and making another swallowtail shawl (but a little larger)
My Secret Prayer Swap Socks are almost done (just 1/2 a toe more to go, then hide ends, block) It feels good to have those done! There are a few other projects I want to put in the package but they should be easy to get done!
I started a plain vanilla sock for Knit Night (although I missed this week). It doesn't involve thinking so it is perfect for visiting! I'm loving watching the colors change! So fun!
So today's goals:
- Finish Swap socks
- Finish skirt (I hope this is doable....I think it is thanks to Jennifer! She commented in the last post asking if my machine had a hem stitch. Who knew? Not me! No hand hemming for me. A little practice and the hem was done in no time and looks so much better than if I had done it by hand! Thanks Jennifer....got to love blog friends!)
- Now if all that gets done I will try to work on the last little goodies for my swap package...Can't wait to show it all to you!
- Rest up for the games! Go team Baton Rouge Red Sticks!!!!

Heck yeah BRRS! I had been planning to knit straight from the balls of yarn, but I think I will wind them today, so I can do at least a little bit of training, and make sure there are no knots, etc. Good luck getting everything on your list done today! My prof comes back late tonight/tomorrow, so I will be frantically finishing up my paper and the other stuff he assigned me. ;)
Good luck on the Ravelympics! Your braver than I am. Lace weight scares me. :) Look forward to seeing the project. Thanks for all your nice comments!

I didn't even think about the hem stitch on the sewing machine.
I love self striping sock yarn.
you're so productive! I'll gladly cheer you on from the sidelines. Go BRRS! I didn't sign up. I'll knit, someone has to been in the stands cheering on the olympians. :)
I recognize that yarn! A good choice for Knit Night.
Good luck on the Ravelympics!
I will compete next year.
Oh Man, I wish I had hem stitching on my sewing machine. It would be awesome...I would sew a lot more!!
Good luck on Olympics, Leah!
Wow ~ that's an ambitious list! Enjoy your day and... clickety clickety click!
Glad you got the hem dilemma worked out.
