Yarn Harlots Knitting Olympics!

So the Yarn Harlot is holding the Knitting Olympics and I am very excited! She said not to set yourself up to fail, but to have a challange. I have decided to start Dale Chamonix because it's a project I already have that I would love to work on or finish and it's related to the Winter Olympics because it's a Dale sweater and it's a ski sweater. I know entering this endevour the chanse that I actually finish it is slim to none, but my real goal is to have something to help motivate me to work on it. Maybe this time around I'll get gauge.

Dale Chamonix

At the time this pattern was out, you could actually buy the sweater for $150 on Amazon.com, the yarn cost under $70.

The Yarn is Daletta because I wanted to be able to wash it easily.

Cool Pixie, I haven't dropped past her site in a little while. Thanks for the heads up! BTW, the sweater is really beautiful and maybe it'll grow on you once you haven't been staring at it for days! ((HUGS))

Hmm, that's the type of sweater hubby would wear (if it weren't in red). Personally I think it's very cool.
