A Crochet Challenge DURING the Olympic Games -Thread TWO

[Barbara G.]

Hello members,

Here is thread two for this discussion. You can continue your posts here.

Original instructions/post:

As everyone is probably aware by now, the 2012 Olympics are just around the corner. So how about a crochet challenge during tihs time?

Here's how it would work.

1) Each person would select the project that they feel they could complete within the specified period

2) All supplies, notions etc should be purchased before the start of the challenge.

3) All gauge swatches can be made before the challenge starts.

4) When the 2102 Olympic opening Ceremonies start, you can start your project. The challenge is to complete the project in its entirety before the end of the closing ceremonies.

The dates for the Olympics are July 27th through August 12th.

So that gives everyone 19 days to complete their own personal crochet challenge.

Is anyone else willing to take part?

I'm in the process of making some reusable shopping bags. My goal is to finish two before the Olympics end! One is made from plarn (plastic yarn) made from shopping bags, and the other from this pretty multi colored wool I bought online. (:

Sorry you had to put your projects aside. I may have to put my afghan aside as I just realized I do not have enough yarn to finish it. Ordered more but don't know if it will get to me in time. Brand notoriously slow at shipping even with upgrade to faster shipping method. Still hoping to finish shawl and felted bag. Hope things calm down for you soon!
