I think I will knit a sweater, now

In my constant quest to monitor all things Phelpsian/Olympian, there's been more knitting time than I practically know what to do with.  You know, other than, like, knit.  It is so ironic that I have to chisel my thighs off the couch because I've eaten so many doughnuts while Shawn Johnson hurtles around the balance beam- I get tired just thinking about her metabolism.  Maybe I'll eat another bowl of yogurt while I contemplate it.  Luckily, I have not been absolutely useless; I polished off a little shell, started a new sweater and began contemplating Rhinebeck.

A certain person  offhandedly remarked "Wouldn't it be fun to knit something for each day of Rhinebeck?"  Now, I am not, by nature, competitive.  I did sports as a child and really did not like the side of my personality they brought out.  It drives my boyfriend batty that I always let him win whatever game we are playing and have been known to ask "Is there a way everyone can win??"

There is one, teeny, tiny aspect of my personality that still gets hot and bothered when it comes to land-speed record.  Knitting. I am all about the throw down. 

Here's the plan:  Knock out sweater one: Demi.  Sweater Two is still under consideration.   Potential winners: Linden.  Wisteria.  Juno.

Game ON.

Demi is a sweater that is absolutely made for you. The challenge, the style, everything. Can't wait to see it.

Beautiful choices, all - but I think Juno would be STUNNING (not that you're asking for a vote)! You're lucky you're so petite (and that school has relented a bit!), a knitting challenge such as the one you're facing is much easier when you're knitting the smallest size. I look forward to seeing your progress (and photos of Rhinebeck when you return - I'll be due to deliver my little boy any day at that point!)

You're not fooling around, are you!

You crazy girl you. GO!
