Ravellenics Day 3: Diving and Gymnastics


Day 3 and I’m motoring along with my shawl.


I’m now in the third section of the expansion but like Tom Daly and his synchronised diving partner today, it went a bit wrong. So my first task tomorrow will be tinking out 8 rows (I do mean tinking as that Kid Silk Haze likes to stick together like glue when ripping) :( I had hoped to get those last few rows done tonight but I’m giving up. I must be tired to have not noticed that rather big mistake for so long :(


I was consoled by the fact that we had an amazing sunset tonight and I managed to watch Team GB get a bronze in the gymnastics – first in 100 years. I also was delighted to watch Missy Franklin from Colorado getting the gold medal in the 100m backstroke in the swimming.


Sirius is limbering up for some activity. I’m not sure what yet though but it may well be Olympic sleeping?

    Pity about the tinking….you have made great progress. At least it’s 8 rows at the beginning where they are shorter. It’s hard to tell from the photo what went wrong. Are you sure it can’t be fixed by carefully dropping stitches?

    I am with Jeanne have you tried to fix it? I think Sirius is limbering up for the “cat napping competition” His US competitor would be Boo Radley!

    If there was a medal for sleeping he’d have some serious competition from The Labradors. I stopped my crocheted border tonight. I hadn’t actually made a mistake but I could feel one coming on…..
