Knitting on Ice.........

My favourite event in the Winter Olympics has always been the Ice Skating (but please don't ask me to watch 'Dancing on Ice'!). These Olympics have introduced us to some very talented rising stars and my current favourites are the young American duo, Meryl Davis and Charlie White, who happens to have a very enviable head of thick,curly locks!.....

This year's Olympic skating seemed to be more about the technical side of the performance and less about the music, which was a little disappointing but nevertheless, the thrills and spills (some of them very sore-looking spills too!)of the whole championships were still rivetting. Sometimes that old centrifugal force played havoc with looking suave and sophisticated......

...loving that Fair Isle Waistcoat!.....

.......ooohhh, looks painful!...........and sometimes the excitement of waiting for your results gets too much!

.....and what better way to accompany all of the above but sitting on one's posterior clicking away with the needles......

....on a test-knit for Liz over on Ravelry....a nice, easy back and forth, to-ing and fro-ing, gentle rhythmic garter stitch pattern which will be available to buy soon, keep a lookout for it, it's a very versatile style which suits just about everyone. Thanks, Liz for letting me test for you. It was a lot of fun...

...and as you can see.......

 I added my own 'go faster' Olympic stripes!
