one year later...

How many of you remember the 2006 Winter Olympics? How many of you witty knitters started a knitted project during the Opening Ceremonies? How many of you watched the events on the television and knitted your Olympic project for your country’s Olympic Team? How many of you actually completed your project on the night of the Closing Ceremonies? All of you…judging by the gold medals awarded to the witty knitters in the blogsphere… I must be the only knitter in the blogshere who took one year to complete my Olympic Challenge.

I had great enthusiastic intentions to complete a knitted project during the winter Olympics last year. I choose to knit a small bag with a cabled pattern...It should be challenging enough, not to difficult since it was a small project..I worked on my cabled bag during the Opening Ceremonies, and continued on during the first week. I was still knitting this bag during the closing ceremonies...I decided to rescue this forgotten WIP and well, one year later
I can stand proudly on the podium with my gold medal and bouquet of flowers…while I emotionally listen to our national anthem of O Canada…
