Watching TV is fine. Sport on TV is wonderful. However… hanging in your chair in front of it in an onproductive way… not acceptable.
Hence I knit. Socks, sweathers.. and whatever projects come to mind.
When the Olympics started I thought:
“You know what, I will start a sweather and will knit our Super Speedskater Sven Kramers Gold Medal(s) into it and whatever other sportshero’s achievement who catches my support. Winning or losing”.
Surprise.. there is a whole Knitting Olympic going on ! Start when the Flame is lit. Finish when it is extinguised.
Sven.. you were absolutely Super !
Knitted Sven’s Gold Medal into this part of my Olympic Project.
As for reaching the finishline in time …
“Participating is more important than Winning”.

You are already a Gold Medalist in my life, Els!
HI Kimberly and Els,
I’m so proud of El’s blog and love the comment about the Olympic knitting. One of our local pubs has craft project nights where (mostly) women show up to work on their projects together while drinking beer (or cosmos). There is also a Death Metal Knitting session at the local teen center where kids can learn or just work on their projects.
