Project for the Olympics

It's not officially sanctioned, but I did work on a knitting project during the Olympics. I cast on during the opening ceremonies, and bound off on the last day before the closing ceremonies.

I chose The Scalloped Shawl from Malabrigo Book 3, and I used Abstract Fibers Super Sock in Chartreuse and Sweet Pea. I had planned to make a striped shawl from these yarns, but Sweet Pea turned out to have more of the Chartreuse green than the other colors, so the stripes are very subtle.

 
Finished Size: 60" across x 25"
