Countdown begins

Two more days until the Knitting Olympics! I've changed my mind about what to knit no less than ten times. I finally settled on the Rose of England tea cloth by Marianne Kinzel and ordered Misti Baby Alpaca Laceweight in Lipstick from West Valley Alpacas to make a shawl version of it. I hope it arrives in time. (Don't worry, I have a back up plan if it doesn't.) This is going to be challenging, and I'm not sure I'll make it. My biggest fear is wrist pain.

Oh I love that pattern, that's a big undertaking in such a short time. But I bet you can do it, if not it should be fun trying.

Holy Son of a Diety! That is a monstrous undertaking. You are delightfully insane.

I probably said it already, but you are totally crazy. I mean that in a good way. :)

Ha, I must have read wrong. Because it sounds like you're going to make a lace shawl in FOURTEEN DAYS. hahaha
