Down to the Wire

The good news:
I've qualified for at least a bronze medal!
The bad news:
The Closing Ceremonies are set for Sunday, and I'm busy throughout the weekend.

Two nights ago, I finished the green camouflage Tychus on the left, and last night I finished hat #6 (the blue and grey striped hemmed-edge hat on the right).

Editor's note: Sorry about the quality of the pic, but I was a bit harried this morning, and had to do a mad dash picture on the phone without regard to quality.

After qualifying for the bronze, I did start a new Tychus in navy and grey, and got about a quarter of it done before bedtime. However, I'm not sure I'll get three hours to spare before the torch goes out. A silver would be nice, and a gold would be wonderful, but I'm just not sure it's going to happen.

Tonight, I'm getting together with the Friday-night-after-work-crowd, Saturday morning I have to go shopping for a birthday party later on that afternoon, and Sunday I'm meeting a friend for brunch at noontime. I might get the required seven to eight hours of knitting in if I get up early tomorrow and Sunday, and also go right home and knit Sunday afternoon after stuffing my face with hash browns and mimosas, but I'm not too hopeful.

I can, however, take advantage of the time difference and get the few hours extra after the real flame has been extinguished but not yet aired on American tv, though, can't I? I did have to wait to cast on until the Opening Ceremonies took place on tv, so the time difference between the actual torch lighting and the tv airing was there at the beginning. I think I'm just going to have to claim the make-up lag at the end.

Fasten your seatbelts - it's going to be a bumpy weekend!

I'll keep you posted.
