Ravelympics: Day two
No way!
That's the finished back of my jacket in all it's 37" long, 22" wide, and blocking glory. I am in utter shock! This is my fastest knitting performance ever. Watching swimming helps apparently.
The riveting competition keeps my mind off the boring-ness of stockinette and the length of this jacket. Case in point, I only stopped to measure my progress twice today (when knitting this much stockinette, I usually feel compelled to measure oh, I don't know, every inch and a half ;0)
Specs for day two: 21 inches and 3 balls of yarn!!!
Coaching support: hubby made breakfast, took us out for lunch and picked up dinner. Plus he brought the boys outside to play after their naps so I could knit quietly. Oh, he also read library books and put them to bed. And yes, ladies, he is already married to this lucky mom and knitter! How I heart that man ;0)

OMG! You're a knitting speed demon! Way to go!!!
It's not the REAL Olympics! You're a speedo wearing speed knitter!
SOOOO FAST! Congrats! I am glad! I love to knit watching games/sports on TV! My best performance was during US Open last year.... !!!!
How fun that the whole family is in on your project (in their own way)! Enjoy.
You are kidding! I could never, ever, even imagine knitting that fast. Oh well, imagining, yes, but actually knitting! Phew! Way to go!
looking good... i don't think i could ever knit that much stockinette! i can't wait to see the finished coat!!!
I can see the smoke coming off those needles! Holy cow you're knitting is fast! Excellent!! :)
Can I borrow your husband ;) I'm doing the Ravelympics too but mine not too challenging. Just time-challenging for me. Hope I finish. BTW I just finished the Beary Buddy bag and posted it on my blog. I love how it turned out. Super fun knit and the instructions were perfect.
does your hubby has a brother? ;-)
