My Knitting Olympics were fraught with set-backs, including a 12 row rip out on Friday evening. Despite all that, I am happy with my progress--all but 1-1/2 sleeves. 
Back to my knitting. I want to wear this sweater before the 2014 Games. |

| Multiple "Penalty Laps" were taken on the February Lady Sweater over the weekend. There has been some frogging and unknitting as I can't keep straight which side has the increases. :) However, as Sunday's "competition" ended, I was beginning to see the end of the yoke approaching. |

| I have a new niece, "L.C." She was born in April and did receive handknits from her favorite auntie.* A blankie: 
A hat: 
A baby bolero: 
*I may not yet be her favorite auntie, but the baby doll I have been scoping out may tip the scales! :) |

| We knew that my nephew was going to be a big baby. In fact, he was 9lbs. 11oz. at birth. I was completely convinced that his Curious George stuffed animal would be wearing it instead of him. But look!
It fits, for the moment! He weighed in at over 10 lbs. at his doctor's appointment today. George will be getting a sweater soon.
