On Your Mark, Get Set......Wait!

These are my prayer squares for the Luke Blankie. If you think you can get a square done quickly go to Michelle's blog and read the specs and deadline for the squares. Knitters are some of the nicest people that I have had the privilege of knowing. I know we can pull this one off. So come join in the Prayers and Squares for little Luke.
I plan to knit them until Saturday then I will ship them to Michelle so she has them by the deadline.



I was searching for something else and found these mitts in progress. After my squares, I will get back to these and finish them for a gift.

Oh wait.........I signed up (gleefully I might add) for Ravelympics. What was I thinking? Call it startitis, the heat has tainted my wee brain or whatever but now I have myself in a knitting dilemma.




I admit that I am an over achiever who never actually achieves her goal. I signed up for the glove decathlon.
I decided on this pattern book and I spent hours in the stash searching for the yarn that was just right. That was a week ago. I promptly cast on for the gauge and put everything in its' place so I would be ready.

I am now looking at the pattern and everything else that I must get done in the next 17 days and I am asking myself, why did I choose this pattern? I could've chosen a nice simple pattern that I could actually get finished in a reasonable amount of time. But, oh no, not me. I chose this book. What was I thinking? has anyone else signed up for Ravelympics?

p.s. UH OH! I don't have the needles for the project. They're in use. All 6 sets. I'm in trouble already and I'm not even at the starting gate.
