Great Team! February 27, 2006

Just wanted to say what fun it’s been to be part of such a great team!  Thank you all for your encouragement and kind words about my very simple wristlets which my friend loves and is wearing already (guess who forgot to photograph them before giving them away?!)

I am in awe of your wondrous knitting projects.  Who knew we had such talent so close to home? Well, of course, we all did – we just behave in that Great British way and get quietly on with things, don’t we?!

Here’s to the next time!

So close, and yet so far(t)! February 27, 2006

I think I was the Eddie Eagle of our squad!?  – I so nearly got there.  Shame I had to work this weekend.  I’ve just got one cuff and the button hole band to knit and sew ends in, finish sewing pocket flaps down and sew the buttons on.  Sounds like quite a lot when you put it like that :-(        I’m impressed by the effort though – this project HAS been sitting in my  cupboard for two years! 

WELL DONE to all my team mates who finished – the gallery of finished articles is AMAZING!  Mine will be finished (but probably not today, unless I can get the breastfeeding lecture preparation finished this afternoon!).

Well, it’s over now, but… February 27, 2006

Congratulations to all those who did finish – Team GB came up with some wonderful knits, and it has been fun. But, I’m sorry to say, I let the team down, and fell at the final fence. Still, I’ll be staggering over the finish line tomorrow (decided sleep, sanity, and a healthy back were actually quite important to me), and am proud to have taken part.

It is the taking part that is important, isn’t it? (Although if I creep up and mug someone’s blog for their gold medal, please forgive me!)
