An Honor

Well, here it is.

My Olympic medal.

(sniffle)

Really, it was just an honor to compete.

I'd like to thank Stephanie, for coming up with the wacky idea in the first place. And thanks to Franklin, too, for designing my medal. It's beautiful. (Sniff)

And, let's not forget, it was darn fun, too!

Now, my next sweater project is going to be making Wendy's "Marilyn's Not-So Shrunken Cardigan" with my own homespun orange/red yarn. I've got the swatch knitted and washed and everything. I just need to measure it to compare it to the gauge in the pattern, and I'm all set to go.

Really.

That's the plan.

Despite having this arrived this afternoon.

That's six skeins of Black Water Abbey yarn, in the Autumn colorway. Purchased for the Celtic Dreams sweater--which thankfully, looks much better when made to actually fit the model, as seen on Annie's blog. Or Melanie's. Or Mary Beth's.And Cassie's is looking beautiful. I just don't know what the photographer was thinking.

But, really. That's the plan.

Honest.

The yarn color is very pretty.
Celtic Dreams is a beautiful sweater and can't wait to see you make it. You do such challenging and wonderful work it is always a pleasure to view it. Good luck and can't wait to see especially the homespun yarn. How is Chappy? No picture today?
