Knit for the GOLD!

If you're into the Olympics and looking for a new knitting project, I found a couple of books for you:

Knitlympics: Knit Your Favorite Sport Star, by Carol Meldrum

Or if you're just a Brit-lover, there's also this:

Stitch London: 20 Kooky Ways to Knit the City and More by Lauren O' Farrell

If you're on Instagram, I'd also suggest following @deadlyknitshade -who's doing a Olympic-themed knitted Pigeon series lately:

I hope whatever you knit or make is better than the opening ceremonies were. Poor Danny Boyle. It's a curse to follow up the spectacular & beautiful Beijing Olympics by Zhang Yimou & Cai Guo-Qiang. Ooh, that reminds me that I need to see Cai Guo-Qiang's "Sky Ladder" at at the Los Angeles MOCA before it leaves in September!
