Getting up at dawn to swatch? Knitting 1, purling 2 ‘til sundown? Practicing lace stitches until midnight? Well, who’s preparing for a GOLD?! Do you have the stamina? Do you have the drive?! YOU CAN DO IT!
Knitting Olympics start at the shop between 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Aug. 8th–even if the Olympic flame isn’t quite lit, yet (shh, don’t tell). And, remember, the athletes don’t show up to the Olympic stadium without having already trained. Stop by before the event to swatch and pick up any supplies you need. Also, this event will not be supplying any Gatorade or condoning the use of Human Growth Hormone, although there might just be a nurse present to tell you with a great deal of apathy that you’ve sprained a finger (he’s kind of a jerk).
In actuality, this event is for challenging yourself and having a good time.

I might change my mind and do like a wash cloth instead of the vest.
I am going to do my first choice of lace scarf in the alpaca/angora.
