The knitting olympics

(don't laugh)

Ok, so I've been thinking about doing the knitting olympics. Essentially you can't start til the Olympics start and you have to finish by the end.

Here's what I'm thinking about making:

Thoughts anyone?

One tricky part about this is that I'll be in Minneapolis for the bulk of it. Maybe that's a good thing--no other distractions besides work.

I just got the wool! I'm using Patons classic like recommended and I got it in a nice neutral dark olive green. I'm so excited but it's definitly a daunting task.

I've got Paton's in a light grey. It was supposed to be an Eintein Coat from a Sally Melville book, but I hated knitting that thing. Mariah is so much better, and I'd wear it so much more often.

Have fun! I'll be looking out for progress reports.
