I am not doing NEARLY as well as the downhill USA men’s team when it comes to times. I think it’s become fairly clear as we begin the third day of the Knit Olympics that I have seriously overjudged my knitting speed–esp. cold-finger speed during a blizzard.

Well, actually, the green was bought fleece, the multi I plyed with it is a Kool Aid test I did. I had JUST enough.
