It's on. 



Why, what is this? Something coyly peeks out of the hood of my zipperless rogue hoody (note the pretty darn good hood grafting job)...



Why it is the Dale of Norway Hauk that i ordered from Yarnzilla for the KNITTING OLYMPICS. oh yeah. Pirate mittens here I come!

This is my first foray into competitive knitting, and i am in it to win. oh wait... it is not my first craft competition... It was just this summer that my friends and I carded, spun, and knit like madwomen in the lambtown, USA sheep-to-shawl competition. I guess our less-than-first place finish there has me all pumped up. I mean, we were beat by a team of children for christ's sake. We didn't have enough wool to finish our shawl and the judge told me to go inside to the fiber fair and BUY some. So we were left to beg and borrow from the children's team working next to us. We suffered from unfair judging, but in the judge's defense I don't think anyone ever briefed her on the scoring guidelines (our educational display alone was enough to blow away all the others teams). and ask anyone on the team, i don't work well with others. I am bossy and too competitive. See, look at me winding up to boss someone. Clearly I disapprove of something.



I think the above rant displays that I am a poor loser. Luckily, this time my teammates on Team Fair Isle will not have to suffer my coaching in person, only through the web. And really the only person I am competing against is myself.

But watch out ...other teams! go team fair isle. YEAARGH!
