To Be Or Not To Be

I'm thinking about doing the Ravely Olympics this year.

On the one hand, I freaking LOVE the Olympics - I always have a party for the Opening Ceremony, which includes the March of Nations drinking game (drink every time someone at the party's country of origin enters the arena! Try and pound your drink before the entire US Team makes the journey around the arena!) Also, as a retired gymnast I can't get enough of any of the acrobatic sports like DUH, gymnastics, but also diving and trampoline.





On the other hand, I am a fairly uncommitted knitter and can't follow knit-alongs to save my life. Trust me, I've tried it a couple times and I'm not even going to link my lame-ass attempts because it's embarassing. I also have like 4 major WIPS and do I REALLY NEED TO START SOMETHING ELSE.

If I would choose to do this, I am leaning towards the Sweater Sprint (SHOCKING!), with these options: [Rosebud] [Gathered Pullover] [Three-Penny Pullover]. I'm not sure if I should go with the miles of St St for ease of knitting while watching 15-year-olds do backflips, or I go the more complex route with Three-Penny to keep my interest level up.

The other option is the Shawl Relay, and I could knit Melody's Shawl, which I would love to have done by our trip to Italy in February.

Ah decisions. Is anyone else thinking about doing this?

On a somewhat related note, I've made it a personal goal to finish at least two of my current projects before moving on - Thermal has had new life breathed into her, and I am one sleeve away from finishing up. That sleeve is going with me to Chicago next week and will see some serious plane-knitting action. Next on the agenda is the Terracota Tank and Rustic Cardi, which are going to Santa Cruz the week after that.

I just might be crazy.
