I finished my own personal Ravelympics project on Sunday night while watching the hockey game. I love to knit the Norwegian Ski Team’s Olympic sweaters for the games or as close to the games as I can. I am not being unpatriotic. I would knit the American Ski teams sweater and probably will now that I have seen a glimpse. It is just that the Norwegian Ski Team sweater is usually a real knitting challenge.
See, I did Nagano…
I also did Lillehammer, but gave it away to the American Red Cross for a fund raiser that year. So I don’t have a picture.
I didn’t join any of the official Ravlympic teams because I started my project before the Olympics began. My intention was to have this sweater finished in time to wear it while I cheered on the athletes, from my living room.
I took the Norwegian Ski Team sweater and did my own thing. I wanted a cardigan because I am a woman of a certain age and find cardigans more flexible for my lifestyle. I also changed the wool. Now before the big reveal I want to prove that I can knit with the yarn I chose and the garments have turned out lovely in the past.

I don't know, it sure looks good to me. I love the main color, too.
Thanks Carol, means a lot coming from you.
Sorry you are disappointed, but I love the colors; they are subtle and understated and quite sophisticated. More of a Bohus color scheme rather than the usual Olympics bright colors. I especially like the way the cream color works over the blue – it almost looks like lace work. Reminds me of powdered sugar dusted through a doily over a freshbaked cake.
