Olympic Knitting

I challenged myself to spin the yarns and knit a third shawl from Sylvia McFadden’s ‘Gentle Armour’ pattern book. 

I hand carded a blend of light grey Shetland fleece, dark grey alpaca and grey angora. A soft blend that spun up a medium dark grey two ply yarn. 

I cast on Friday watching the opening ceremonies. Yesterday I made it through the set up rows watching the womens skiathalon. Now I’m watching the mens skiathalon.
