Team FO is born!

Thanks to circumstances and a push from Jackie, I realized that there are a bunch of us who, for whatever reason, will be FINISHING something as our goal for the Knitting Olympics.

If you're one of us, please join Team FO.

And of course, feel free to take the button.

I spoke to the Harlot last week, and we talked about the reason for these Olympics that she's created. [Bless her.] We agreed that it's about challenging yourself to be a better knitter, whatever that means for YOU. I don't think she'd disallow anyone from claiming their gold medal just because THEIR challenge happened to be finishing one [or more] projects that don't seem to want to be finished.

So there. Put the guilt away. This is about knitting, dammit. There should be no guilt in knitting.

Let the games begin!

Comments:
NO guilt here. I would have felt guilty putting Mermaid aside to start something else.

You know, I do have another UFO that I haven't touched in a year...
 
see? join us!
 
Yes! There are more of us! My friend Lara and i came up with Team Alien this morning, and then we found Team Finish the Damn Thing, and now Team FO!

It's nice that we get to officially participate.

Please sign me up for Team FO. I'll be cheering us all on for the UK!
 
Someone else is doing this as the UFOlympics. :-)
 
It's good to know, those of us who are FO challenged have the Harlot's blessing. Would have loved for you to have joined TFTDT! but it's all good!
 
I'm in for this one! Team FO: Rock the Casbah!
 
... I'm a bit late to this party, but sign me up!
 
I'm in...got a scarf I need to finish...
 
I've got a baby aran sweater from 2002 that is crying out to be finished... count me in!
 
I didn't have it for her wedding (even though it was in February...she didn't really need it in Cancun), but she'll need her wedding shawl for her Michigan reception March 18th! Brrr!!
 
I love it. I'm in. I will finish my Sour Cables by the end of the Olympics.
