The red sweater grows

Remember that sweater I blogged about last fall? Well, I didn't make much progress on it at all — until February and Ravelry.com's Ravelympics competition. Basically the concept is for yarn artists to pick a challenging project and commit to finish it during the three weeks between the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics. I signed on with my sweater.

 

I finished the sweater's collar, and sleeve No. 1 (above). I also learned very early on that I do not knit fast enough to complete a sweater in three weeks, and still go to work, sleep, eat, etc... 

No worries though. I'm plugging away on sleeve No. 2 and still have my eye on the prize. My very first homemade sweater.

Knit on.
