Knitting Olympics 2014

The winter Olympics in Sochi kick off this afternoon and I have a little knitting planned. Baby Norgi, this has been in my queue for several years now and I think it's finally time to tackle it. It's colourwork again, but this time I'm upping the stakes as this pattern features steeking!

I've been stash raiding for the yarn for this and have come up with Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks That Rock Lightweight in Sweet Pea and Pining 4 Ewe and Malabrigo Sock in Lettuce.

Having a closer look at the pattern I noticed that I'm short of the Sweet Pea that I need for the background. So, I'm going to cast on and keep my fingers crossed that someone on Ravelry will be destashing a skein!

I'm off to look for some needles as I've got just over an hour and a half until the opening ceremony starts. (As you can see I'm SO prepared for this)
