For Ravelympics I have decided to knit the Gathered Pullover as my Sweater Sprint project. Originally, the pattern uses Brown Sheep Top of The Lamb Sport, but I decided to use Berroco Ultra Alpaca. The original gauge is 19sts/24 rnds on size 7 needles. My yarn's gauge is 20sts/26rows. We will see what circular knitting does to that number. I will begin my magic loop swatch tonight. I have both size 7 and 6 needles, just in case.
Aside from that, I have to finished my Nutkins. Finally, a Finished Object that belongs to me me me !!!! This is entry #1 for Summer of Socks 08 
This is my Camera Sock. All that is left to be done is the kitchener stitch, but I keep messing it up. AARRRRRGGH!!!!
Happy Knitting everyone!!!

Congrats on finishing those socks! They look fabulous on you. Hooray a FO! I would suggest maybe going down a pattern size for the sweater. I wish I had.
Your socks look great!!!And good luck with the Olympics!!
The Nutkins look great! You've got me beat on SOS socks. I still haven't finished an SOS sock. The Gathered pullover will look great in that brown. I signed up to do the Raelympics but I'll probably end up doing nothing. Maybe the cowl jump. Hope to see you soon!
You're going to love the Berocco ultra alpaca. It's truly lovely! However, I THINK I heard that it grows, not to confident on that statement, so play it safe, and wash your swatch!
Love your nutkins, sadly mine are still not finished. Heck I haven't even finished the first one:(
Hi Chica! Love the socks! Now, if I can go ahead and try my first pair...hmmm...LOL! When you get a chance, check your Rav messages. Talk to you soon!
