Today was the first Ravelympics and we were all ready. We were having a wee party at home to watch the Olympic game opening ceremony and start our ravelympic projects. Even Andrea, who thought she would not make it, was lucky enough to be here for 1pm!
To keep us going (although, for knitting, we just need nice yarn and needles), we had violet kir royal (champagne with violet sirop from Toulouse) and loads of things to nibble. Louise made fabulous bread and scones.
This is the team: Diane, Louise and Andrea. (we had a thought for Jane, who is part of our team, scots can do it too!, and was competing at the same time as well, in Australia)
the equipment:
On the starting blocks, waiting for the countdown...
Work in progress:
Louise's scones...yummmmmm....
After a few hours.. (Louise in grey, Diane in blue and Andrea in green). Also, I must mention that Andrea is competing in the WIP wrestling category, that's why her project is so advance.
At the end of the ceremony, once the flame had been light up:
This is my project, unfortunately, I will have to frog it. I realized that I should do a few more repeat of the pattern, otherwise the shawl would be too small (120cm wide is a bit short to wrap yourself in).
Now we have to complete our projects by 24th August!There are more pictures on Diane's blog and soon on Louise's!

Thank you for having us all! We all enjoyed ourselves! I hope that the frogging wasn't too painful and look forward to seeing the progress on Wednesday!!
Mmmmm scones! I think I'll make those tomorrow. Good luck ladies!
