Medal Round

While I didn't officially join the Knitting Olympics, I did have a goal to finish all the projects I had on needles before casting on for a new one. I got the silver medal.

I finished Kinsale and my long-suffering Rebecca Wrap Cardi and I do love them both! Unfortunately, I can't file an extension on the Olympic experience.


Faina did get her second sleeve and I'm still plugging away at the yoke. I was knitting until the torch went out on the West Coast but there was no way I would finish in time. Ah well, Vancouver is only four years away and Chad did say, "Knitters, like curlers, improve with age."

In the Kitchen Olympics, I struck gold. Seventeen nights of Italian food without relying on Pasta X Marinara. Week 2 recipes are now posted over in the Kitchen.

It was a great challenge but despite having distinctly different foods each night, I'm looking forward to embracing my Asian roots again. A gold and a silver....at least I did better than Bode Miller.
