Last night I spent a much needed night in, making a tasty dinner, watching tv, knitting and reading before calling it a night. It was great to finally have a weekend night in. It's been a while! I watched a special on TV about the Olympics and managed to muster a little bit of enthusiasm about it, even though I'm not at home with 24 hour cable, but rather over here when everything is broadcast in the middle of the night. And sure, the Olympics is the same all over the world, but it would be nice to see the American coverage. Or at least English. So I decided a few weeks ago that it wouldn't be fair to join the Knitting Olympics (I probably don't need to link), and I designated myself an un-official cheerleader. Can you believe how many people are doing this? It even made the papers! Anyway, I digress.

The reason for this post is to show you the progress I'm making on my sesame. What a lovely sweater. It practically knits itself. The only problem is all those ends! I have considered weaving in the ends as I go, but I'm not sure if it's better to weave them in pre-blocking and pre-seaming or better to wait. Any suggestions?

The opening ceremony is going to be re-broadcast tonight on TV but I will be at the annual Valentine's Day ball so I'm going to have to miss it. Not wearing any hand-knits this year, though. I'm so glad I decided to ditch the wrap idea and I'm going for the all store-bought black sequined skirt, plain top and big dangly earrings instead. Hope everyone has a good weekend--and good luck with your Olympic knitting!!
