Ravelympics 2008

As you all may know the games did start yesterday. I am hoping to start my projects for this in the next few hours or tomorrow. Seems to be my MO of being late anyways..lol but I've been working on a couple quick needed items to do and to me those are alittle more important right now. I'm on a shorter time limit with those :)

I'm in Team Bob and I am signed up for the Bag-N-Tote Backstroke and I'm making this bag, though not in those colors-dratz...
It is crochet so I should be able to catch up quick. Its the crochet version called The Felted Stained Glass Tote and you can find here.
I am also signed up for the Sweatersprint and am doing the Ivory Shell Sweater though not sure if I'm doing it in an off white or a light bone color. Its from Positively Crochet by Mary Jane Hall and that's the sweater on the cover. I do hope I can get that done by the time the games are up. It will be a challenge for me for sure as I have so much going on..lol but I actually did get a chance to look around Ravelry and see all the different team names and there is one I definitely would've fit in..their called Team Hopelessly Overcommitted!
In doggie news, sorry didn't get that Thursday post up, but didn't have any new pics to post. Both girls are doing good and boy is Coco growing! Will work on getting some new pics for this week coming post. Lady does plays alittle dirty now, knocking into and or biting Coco's fur as she runs by, though Coco starts the whole chase me around thing...lol Tell you, she ain't afraid of anything but maybe the vacuum..lol She follows Lady everywhere and they do tug together too. Have tried getting a pic of that, but as soon as they see us they stop. Coco does have times where she doesn't leave Lady alone and can really be a pest, but all in all their great together.
Well I'm gonna get back to my crocheting now. Hope all have a great weekend!! and hey you all, we did finally get some real rain on our side of town! Yipppeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I hope you are well.

I have that (knit)bag pattern..I love it and hope to make it, someday. Will look for your FOs. I'm moving along on my shoulder scarf, but don't know if I'll get to both hats I signed on for...
