the games have begun!

so, i cast on for my olympic project today: the fibertrends peace shawl. i'm not thrilled about knitting at the moment (*gasp!*) because i have the flu, and nothing kills the moment like coughing and puking and aching. but i've knit myself 30 rows so far and i'm rather proud of it. and in true olympic spirit, i'm pressing on. i have gathered my materials and a glass of bourbon, lemon & honey. you know, for my cough. ahem. wish me luck!
