I have a long and proud track record of failure at the various knitting O[ymp1c5 and this year may be no different. I’m made a remarkable amount of progress (for me) while being at the beach and other places that aren’t particularly conducive to knitterly pursuits.
At the same time, I know others who have taken on less insane tasks than I and are already winnahs, but gosh darn it, I really wanted to make this shrug.
And the shawl.
The “Mrs. Hudson Shawl” for Defarge Does Sherlock.
Yes, indeedy.
Knit in the softest, single-ply, mystery yarn I could find in the stash, it’s a joy to knit up and an easy pattern to memorize (even in my addled state).
Plus, being here at the beach on the Atlantic Coast has given me lots of ideas for socks. Lots and lots.
So many socks.
So little time.

Heather,
I am with you! I signed up as a participant in the Ravellenics on Team Downton Abbey, & cast on Fishtail Wristwarmers. Well, here it is the middle of the second week of the Olympics & I have knit a total of 10 rows; even though I’ve been watching the games a bit I find myself paying attention to the athletes instead of my knitting; plus, I’ve been having some mental trouble focusing on the pattern at hand…
See you soon!
I feel your pain and, being home, am now firmly in the “it’s always something” mode of life.
¡C’est la guerre!
