It’s on.

Why, what is this? Something coyly peeks out of
the hood of my zipperless rogue hoody (note the pretty darn good hood grafting
job)…



Why it is the Dale of Norway Hauk that
i ordered from Yarnzilla for the KNITTING OLYMPICS. oh yeah.
Pirate mittens here I come!

This is my
first foray into competitive knitting, and i am in it to win. oh wait… it is
not my first craft competition… It was just this summer that my friends and I
carded, spun, and knit like madwomen in the lambtown, USA sheep-to-shawl competition. I guess our
less-than-first place finish there has me all pumped up. I mean, we were beat
by a team of children for christ’s sake. We didn’t have enough wool to finish
our shawl and the judge told me to go inside to the fiber fair and BUY some. So
we were left to beg and borrow from the children’s team working next to us. We
suffered from unfair judging, but in the judge’s defense I don’t think anyone
ever briefed her on the scoring guidelines (our educational display alone was
enough to blow away all the others teams). and ask anyone on the team, i don’t
work well with others. I am bossy and too competitive. See, look at me winding
up to boss someone. Clearly I disapprove of
something.



I think the above rant displays that I
am a poor loser. Luckily, this time my teammates on
Team Fair
Isle
will not have to suffer my coaching in
person, only through the web. And really the only person I am competing against
is myself.

But watch out …other
teams! go team fair isle. YEAARGH!
