My 2012 Olympic Challenge Day 1
Canada has yet to medal in the real games, but I am proud to announce that I've already completed one of my knitting goals for these games!! I spent a solid day today going through my stash in detail, and here are the results for my first "event" - the Stash Toss!

My Olympic Challenge 2012
The last time I revived my blog it was to share details of cute lunch contests a co-worker and I were having.
Egg vs. Egg
Today's lunches both included eggs, but in a different way than yesterday. Mine was seriously delicious (and so filling that I actually had to take a break before "dessert" (fruit). Today my lunch was inspired by the song "Black & Yellow", which I have been hearing a lot lately.

A minor injury is currently preventing me from knitting. To cope with all the extra "down" time I suddenly have, I've been focusing my creative energies on alternate outlets.
2For My Next Trick....
Would it be me if I wasn't setting myself up with another challenge? Some people make New Year's resolutions; I am constantly resolving something or other. Most recently it was to knit only from yarn I bought at the 2009 TTC Knitalong and the 2010 Knitter's Frolic.

I was a very good girl on this knitalong! I stuck to the rules of my challenge and knit only from last year's TTC Knitalong and this year's Frolic yarn purchases. In the end I successfully knit up 13.5 balls of yarn before the day of the TTC Knitalong.

1TTC Knitalong Challenge Update
So how did 5 weeks go by without an update? Well, add up students' year-end show, a major charrette the same weekend as the G20, numerous side projects, a multi-city trip to avoid my family in person see my family and a major knitalong to organize and my blogging time shrinks to nil.
1TTC Knitalong Challenge Update: Week 1
So, my challenge so far has been going pretty well! I knit all 4 balls of Aquarella (from last year's KAL, bottom left corner) into a super simple and ridiculously cozy cushion cover to replace a terribly pilled one for a cushion form I already had.
2My 2010 TTC Knitalong Challenge
We're back! The TTC Knitalong will take place on Saturday, July 10th. The volunteers all met a few weeks to iron out the details and there are a few exciting new changes so stay tuned for updates. You can get those details either on the official blog or at the TTC Knitalong Ravelry group.
