The Olympics are right around the corner as is the Ravellenic Games 2012. For those non-knitters and non-spinners, the start of the opening ceremonies for the Olympics marks the start of a fiber project that you pledge to finish before the closing ceremonies. This year, I have pledged to spin all outstanding dye lots. Wow. This is going to be a hefty task. I have a ton of wool that has been dyed and sits ready to be made into yarn. Tonight, I got a jump start by finishing the last of three skeins of my art yarn. Still, there is plenty that is waiting to take shape.
Most people are watching the actual Olympic games while knitting and spinning. But, I have never really been into the Olympics. I always find myself rooting for the wrong reasons. Everyone is wanting the underdog to win, and I almost want to see the floor exercise gymnast trip on the streamer. I know it isn't right. And, this kind of karma can't be good for my knitting projects.
If you don't have a project for the games, you better figure one out immediately. You can't just spend the entire time actually watching the Olympics.
