...succumbed.

So much for sane monthly targets; I've succumbed to the Yarn Harlot's 16-day insane knitting challenge. The idea is that you complete a knit - from cast-on to blocking - during the span of the Winter Olympics. You're supposed to pick a knit that will be challenging for yourself. You can swatch etc. beforehand (that counts as training!), but no stitches for the actual garment must be cast on or knit before 2pm (your time) that the olympics start. After an agonising 24 hours, I've given in and signed up. As a seeming non-sequitur, I knit a very cute hooded cardigan for Baby Mumford; I loved the design and I've been intending to knit a large version for myself. There is a cable all round the hem, up the front and round the hood, and also round the cuffs. I'm not going to make it in double knitting, though; I have 12 skeins of Noro Iro labelled for it. I'll be swatching soon, and writing the pattern (as much as I can) in advance. 16 days for a cardigan... I calculate that's three days each for the front, back, each sleeve and the hood, and a day for seaming/blocking etc. Sound reasonable??
