O Canada!!!

And the mens hockey team wins again!  The gold medal game was excellent but I have to comment on the press and their flip-flopping.  A few days ago, before the Canada US game, the commentators were saying:  the US is the team to beat, Canada can't score, didn't bring the right players, etc.  Today they are saying that the Canadian team is the best team ever assembled.  Geesh (but in a good way).

Do it again

I can't resist the Tulip sweater.  I have made 3 for baby, one for a slightly older girl and the boy version, Rocketry.  I don't often want to knit the same thing twice, let alone several times.  But it is such a fun knit and I have tons of Dream in Color Classy to finish up in the stash so it was a perfect time to make another.

This is technically an olympic project by I'm not really finding myself compelled to get involved too much.  I am enjoying the olympics, particularly moguls, curling and hockey, and knitting while watching.  That's good enough for me.

I'll be up early tomorrow cheering for the Canadians in mens hockey.  Go Canada Go!!!

Reading in bed

Am getting caught up on old RSS feeds from my favourite blogs.  Squawkfox comes through again with a great tip and has introduced me to free magazines through a combination of my local library and Zinio.  She gives detailed instructions on what to do to get free access to a big selection of magazines here.  I downloaded about 1/2 a dozen just now and am getting to read as I take a nap after an intense weekend of curling (which we won - regions here we come!!!!).
