5 Days Late for 08.08.08

Olympic Fever has been running high at our house.


Matt showing support for the Armos.

We headed up to the cabin for Opening Ceremony festivities; Matt cooked steaks, I knit like a maniac, and my brother-in-law got drunk. It was a great time.

We also had some deer that kept getting super close to our place. As my mom's man-friend put it, "That one is going to get shot. He's way too nice". That makes me really sad, actually.



Deer butt, anyone?

The girls came along too. Katy wore her new polo shirt for the occasion.

I can't help but laugh everytime I look at this photo. How freaking happy does that dog look???

The ride home was another story.

Dead. Tired.

Finally, I got so much done on this sweater while I was up there I surprised no one more than myself.



Started 08.08.08 at 7:25am while I was fighting off an oncoming migraine (no pain, no gain) and this was my progress when I got home Sunday night (why yes, I AM 3 days late posting this!!!). Since then, I've finished one front and am about 1/3 of the way through one sleeve which I have been bringing with me to work. I just might actually do this.

Ravelry Entry for this project here. For non-Ravelers and those too lazy to click, it's the Gathered Pullover from Interweave Knits, on size 7 needles and Knit Picks Andrean Treasure. I'm loving it so far.

I am about halfway done with my sweater, and had the boy try it on yesterday. Way too big! Time to frog. No ravelympics completion for me.
