in 2012 I joined the Ravolympics. I had done this many times completing an afghan, socks etc. In 2012 I joined to make a sweater. I fell in love with this pattern from Vouge and being the 2012 Olympics where in London it was so fitting!
I completed the full unit Jack back that year and then it went in time out before the closing ceremonies. Now every 2 week period the olympics have been held I have pulled it back out of time out and slowllyyy worked on it. I just came to despise the bobbins, the weight, the endless changing colors.
This was its year though and just before the closing ceremonies I seemed up the last sleeve!
I am retiring now from olympic knitting as a sport!

Yep this was total crazy commitment to a time out project! I had though of frogging it years ago but then UGH bobbins! We are off to the science museum today and some other places, I may wear it and a picture may occur though I am always the one taking them and never in them!
