I did finally decide on a project for the Ravelympics. I’m working on a very shiny Lacy Baktus shawl/scarf thing. I’m using my Air handspun for pretty shinies and stripes. And shiny is definitely appropriate, since I’m knitting for Team Ooh, Shiny!

Two days in

It’s knitting up really fast. I took the photo above this afternoon, and it’s probably doubled in size since then. Tonight was a big movie night, so there was plenty of knitting time. I watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang with L, and then I watched Penelope by myself. I’d recommend both movies.

I’m fully expecting to finish this project well within the Olympic deadline. If it’s not finished before the end of the week, I’d be really, really surprised. So, I’m making plans for a second project. Most likely, it’ll be Simple Things, knit with the merino/silk I finished spinning (but haven’t yet finished) this weekend. Once I clear off my niddy noddy, I’ll wind that up, give it a bath, and it should be ready for knitting by the time I finish the Baktus.
