Ravelympics gold medal finish

I am exhausted. A combination of the flu, two gold medal curling matches, and a nail biting ice hockey goal medal match are to blame. In honour of the Canadian medal haul, I started and finished a last minute baby bootie project in Team Canada colours. My bundle to be will wear them with pride...or baby like indifference.  Better photos after I recover.

Olympic Victory!

Last night, I finished my Travelling Woman shawl, and I'm so pleased with the result.  I didn't get a chance to photograph it properly, but here is a shot from my phone to tide over until the weekend.

 

and a closeup of sorts:

 

The colours are off, and don't really do the yarn justice.  It was a treat to knit with, Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend. My only beef was finding five knots in one skein.  Sigh.
