i think it's no secret that the sandwich loves the olympics! and while i never officially join a ravolympics team, i always knit like a fiend while watching the olympics. this year is no different.
i had to upgrade my cable and get the app so i could watch *all* the olympics, even on my phone when there's no olympics on the tv! and what am i working on this year? a blanket for lily for her birthday. yes a blanket. i still haven't mentally recovered from last year's sweater, so a blanket it is!
i'd be remiss if i did not mention, for just a moment, the controversy surrounding putin and his intolerant stance towards the lgbt community in russia. to do my small part i purchased the russian "love conquers hate" tshirt from the human rights campaign. i will be wearing it as often as possible during the next two weeks.
it is also not lost on me that i am crocheting up a rainbow blanket.
apparently all this rainbow yarny goodness is just too much for even the animals of the house to resist...
pippin insisted on inserting himself right in the middle of the action last night. i know we're all excited, but seriously pip? could you have found a less irritating place to sit?!?
even luna, who usually has no interest in my crafting came sniffing around last night!
8 down, 40 to go... bring it on, olympic fever!!!

Oh that is just the most perfect Olympic project! Love the rainbow!! I am happy to see that Pippin is interested in what's going on too. The look on her face is priceless!!

Great choice for an Olympic project. I live the colours.

Lovely bright colors. I have managed to watch some of the Olympics but not a great deal. There's always somebody wanting my attention!
