Olympic Gold

Remember when I told you I've never been on any kind of organized athletic team? Well that may have to be amended. At the 3rd Annual Knit Out (as featured on my last podcast) I conquered all comers and now reign supreme as the Skip, Skip, Knit Obstacle Course Champion. *sound the trumpets*

Thankfully Jen didn't get any pictures of me tossing felt balls or knitting with pool noodles (my best event) but you can take a lookey loo at the other pictures of the day on the W&C blog

The best part of being a reigning champion is the swag you get at the medal ceremony.

Six skeins of Cascade Venezia and 10 balls of Skacel Vacation, all packed in a handy shoulder bag. I think the Vacation will become a Ballet Wrap Sweater that was the cover look on the Winter 2005 Interweave Knits mag. The Venezia is such a lovely yarn I can't wait to cast something on with it but I haven't happened upon the *right* pattern yet.

Big Thanks go out to:
Neil and Lesly, proprieters of Wool & Co. that made my success possible.
My cheerleading team of Little E, Mini-me, Carol and Jodee, thank you for your support and enthusiasm.
And great appreciation goes out to all the very able bodied women with whom I competed. You all put up a great fight right to the end.

Maybe someday I'll share my secret to speedy pool noodle knitting.
