I missed the one in 2008 as i didn't trust my feeble skills then. Almost missed this too, mainly because of the overthinking - , usually i just can't decide what to knit with what, thats the reason behind the size of my stash. I spent two whole evenings looking up lace things i could use my one skein sock yarns with, and finally at 23.46 a.k.a. 11.46 PM i decided on one pattern - Saroyan - with one yarn - Easyknits BFL, Nymphaea colourway. I have at least 5 more yarns i want to us up soon and about 8 patterns i want to knit for ages but could not found no more matches. Pathetic :PI don't have tv and had no luck in locating any on-line broadcasts of the opening ceremony, so i went to sleep at midnight with alarm set up for two o'clock mass-cast-on as i was stoned tired. I thought i was half-asleep, having been turned the alarm off but too sleepy to wake up, and anyways, i 'm already too late, i will cast on in the morning... when the alarm went off and i woke up at 1.55 :D My pc is real slow lately so i know i left not enough time to turn it on and look up the pattern, but i remembered that it had 11 stitches to cast on. So waited for the digits turn 2:00, cast on 11 sts, knit two more rose in garter st, and promptly went back to sleep.
I signed up for the Yarn Harlot's Knitting Olympics, as this little thing isn't a challange for me, so don't wanted to sign it up on ravelry. When i decide finally what yarn to use for the Swallowtail which i want to do, or if i give or not give a go for the Haruni, i will sign up them. Those will be a challange, especially starting them late, and having the Snowball Fight and the Gail to finish, both 6-8 rows of edge chart and blocking.
