My Tickled Pink Blanket that Rocks! I cast this on almost two years ago! And it is only maybe 25% done! I have two more skeins of Socks that Rock Heavyweight in Jasper for the border not even shown. They haven't been wound yet.

I have the best equipment! My signature circular needles that I haven't even really used yet?!?!

And of course, these gorgeous colors of Socks that Rock heavyweight! Go Team Blue Moon!!

I honestly am not sure if I can finish this. But, I'm bound and determined to try. And just how happy would I be to show this to Cockeyed and Ettamae at the Blue Moon booth at Stitches West all finished and complete!

But, just in case, I do have a project picked out for Team Plucky Knitters!

Happy Knitting Olympics!

Good luck fearless friend :0)

So have you added up how many yards of yarn you have for the blanket. Just askin"!!!

Actually...forget it. I have almost as many for the Vancouver 2010 sweater.

We're both nuts!

You can do it! If I can ski for a million miles and not get paid for it, you can finish this gorgeous blanket!
