Olympic Ready and more........

Just watched the new version of We are the World that actually brought tears to my eyes and enveloped my body in chills. Yes, it was a perfect prelude for the Open Ceremony of the 2010 Olympics! I have been looking forward to the games for weeks now and can assure you I will be glued to the tube thru the 28th...of course with needles in hand!

My Ravelympian project has been started with Grand hopes of finishing it by the Olympic Closing Ceremony on the 28th.

Finally I have pictures of my delicious finished Spiral Shawl to share with you. So seriously pleased I elected to knit this five rows wide 'cause now I have a wonderful full size shawl!
Yummy Color!
Remember my blocking disaster, well that is all in the past! The nasty dropped stitch that popped it's ugly head up during the blocking process was corrected with the use of a crochet hook and much patience. Isn't it amazing what one can accomplish with a crochet hook??? Anyhow...once steamed I can't even find the BooBoo.

My shawl was finished with a single crochet border. I like the pristine results of this process and think it gives the knit a little added weight that makes it drape ever so nicely.

I have three words for this knit....Love.Love.Love.

The Skinny...........
Jojoland Melody Superwash Yarn
Color MS29

#5 Addi Lace Needles
