Opening Ceremonies

the opening ceremonies are scheduled to begin in a matter of minutes.  and i'm getting ready.  i've added carole's flame button to my side bar there...

and i've added a link to yahoo sports turin 2006 webpage (here i have it in italian, and french, too).  there's a nifty little tv schedule.  (because i need to know when the biathlon is televised  and don't forget the curling.)

finally, it's time to announce the winner of my olympic event poll.

so the color on color scarf it is. i'm psyched.  because this was the project i was hoping for.  those of you who voted for charlotte's web.  you know i don't think this is ever going to happen.  i'm sorry.  for those of you who voted for the mess in my head...thanks for your faith in me.  the mess in my head is called just that , because well it's a mess.  but the mess will get made some day. 

so i've got my materials together.  i may need to purchase a needle or two (this pattern calls for 3 32in size 8 circular needles.  i have to reread the pattern to see if that's really necessary.)  i need to organize the tiny little skanks.  but even if i can't cast on tonight (i'll be at doyle's and well, i don't drink and knit), i'll get on the stick early tomorrow morning.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
