Kathy - She completed ONE BABY BOOTIE!! GO KATHY! we are especially proud of her!!! she might get the gold after all! and to think...she just wanted to be a cheerleader!

Lee - she's going on her tomten! she's getting to the point where you seperate for the arm holes!

Mary Jane - She isn't doing the hello yarn hat anymore...she's working on a lace shawl! and she's working on it at home....at the store it's too distracting. hehe. she said she's going!

Barbara - she's 85% done with one mitten already!! whoo-hoo!

Peggy - She's gotten quite a few inches done on that jumper. i can't wait to see it finished!!

Trudie - she admitted today she hadn't started her sam the ram yet. hehe. it's ok...we'll see if she can get it done by closing ceremonies.

Joel - not sure of his progress....haven't seen him since Sunday! but i'm sure he's moving along well.

Elynne - I haven't heard from her...but i'm sure she's working hard on her clogs!

Jenn - She's moving along REALLY well!! take a peek! she's running for that gold medal!

I'll put up more pictures this weekend. i'll have everyone show me their projects and we'll snap pictures!

Joel has joined in today!! he said (and i quote) as he casted on for a pair of lacy socks..."let the games begin". he's going to be doing Embossed Leaves Socks from Interweave knits Winter issue.



Kathy has joined us as well!! Instead of being a cheerleader...she's joined us!! she's working on a pair of baby booties. and as of today...she's 65% done with the FIRST bootie! i'm so proud of her!!

Let the games BEGIN!!!

after much confusion, i saw that the games were supposed to begin at 2pm EST. oops. hahah. i thought it was 7p.

As the games go on, we will be posting various pics of everyone's projects and the process. For those of you who don't come into the store on a daily/weekly basis, if you want your pics included, please take a photo and mail it to the team.simpatico@gmail.com address. I'll post them up for you!

Debbie will be joining us for the games as well. As of 7p CST...she hadn't picked a project yet. but no worries. I think she's working on converting a machine knitting pattern into a hand knitting pattern....which we all know is a challenge in itself!
