Ravellenic Games Success!
I medaled! Several times!
First up was Tethys which was entered for Shawl Sailing and Cable Steeplechase:
I did then have to reality check my other plans slightly when it became obvious at the end of the first In and Out sock, that I wasn't going to get two of them done, never mind two pairs! Cue a slight change of plan, and casting on Sake in the hopes that I'd get 2/3 of the way through one of them, making both socks eligible for the Cast On Trapshoot.
Sake has been an utter nightmare it has to be said. 2" in and I realised the gauge was way too tight. Change up from 2.25mm needles to 2.75mm needles and 5 attempts (I have no idea what I was doing wrong that night!!) to cast it on and I'm now just finishing off the toe.
Now if I can just get started on my gift knitting for the year I'll be doing really well!

Congratulations! I hope you celebrated approproately.
ReplyDeleteI still don't quite get how the Games work, so I didn't take part. If I had, I wouldn't have done well though, I suspect! In those two weeks I only finished 1 1/2 pairs of socks.
