Thanks to Nurd-Grrl and Stephanie, I'm ready to dive into the Knitting Olympics. I found some yarns in my stash, and hope to have 1, if not 2, fair isle pillows done by the time the torch goes out. Sounds simple, but I'm really a beginner knitter. Finding a somewhat challenging pattern quickly, and the yarn/needles readily available(without having to run out to a yarn shop at the last moment) was a challenge, but I did it. Because I don't have the exact yarn or needles, and no time to swatch, I'm thinking that a pillow will give me some latitude in that regard. So I have cast on, according to the rules, and made a start. Citius, Altius, Fortius.
