So, as you may recall, I jumped into the Ravellenic Games (aka the Knitting Olympics) on day 6<\/a>, which is a little crazy but I figured I’d be able to challenge myself to something and actually do it.<\/p>\n

I am beyond happy to report that I did! This is my official project page<\/a> on Ravlery, I knit 100 puffs for my Beekeeper’s Quilt with literally just 15 minutes to go! <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Since I focused all my efforts on this one event (the Modular Relay) I will only get one medal, which is what I originally set out to do, but as I watch so many other knitters collect a zillion medals for painfully easy tasks (like knitting 5 puffs, or knitting a stack of unstuffed puffs) I’m all butthurt! Haha. Which is totally ridic, I know. I could have chosen to knit like 10 puffs for that event, and I could have made cross-event projects (like if I had made a pair of quick baby socks from the pink bamboo in my stash it would have counted for 3 events; Baby Dressage, Synchronized Stash Busting and the Sock Put – actually, if I made them as a Chrismtas gift then I would have also gotten the Holiday Hurdles event). Anyhoo, I’m setting the lofty goal right now that I will try to participate in ALL the events in 2014. So I think I need a loom lol.<\/p>\n

As for Menu Monday this week, I’m not sure what I’m doing because it’s been so hot! Last night we had sandwiches. Yes, really. At first I was thinking I should just BBQ this week, but I’m not as great with charcoal as I am with gas and my gas BBQ is about eleventy billion miles away. Soooo, we’ll see. I’m thinking at the very least I should have brought my slow cooker or toaster oven down with me for temps like these!<\/p>\n

I did however, order this<\/a>\"\" and can hardly wait for it to get here so I can make frozen treats for the wee ones!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
