Ravellenic Games 2014

So this year, for the Ravellenic Games, I am working on finishing projects!



I need one sleeve for my Must Have Cardigan, and button bands.



My Featherweight is much further than this picture, and only needs sleeves.



My Tangled Yoke needs about three inches of yoke and button bands.

I also want to finish Henry and Ellie's sweaters (Ellie's needs sleeves, Henry's needs fronts) and maybe finish a few single socks to have more pairs!

I can't wait to get started tonight!

Knitting Olympics

I'll have more to say about goals for this year in a few days. For now, the important decision looms - what to knit for the Knitting Olympics?

This year's contenders:

Must-Have Cardigan: Pros: Yarn in stash (yay!), Has been in queue FOREVER. Cons: That's a LOT of cables.

Fair Isle Cardigan: (I know there's no picture - apparently no one has ever made this!) Pros: No one has made this yet!, I like the side-to-side construction, it is fair isle. Cons: No one has made this (yikes!), I'd have to order yarn, I'd like to lengthen it.

Abstract Leaves Vest: Pros: So pretty. Fair Isle. Cons: Have to order yarn. Steek!

Rowan Fair Isle Cardigan: Pros: Very cute. Have 1/2 the yarn. Cons: Need 1/2 the yarn, would like to convert it to be knit in the round which equals steek. Yikes.

Thoughts? I cannot decide. I really want to use up stash, but I know cables take me longer than fair isle. What to do?
