Olympic Medalists Don't Need Good Titles
I'm done with the hat! There was some concern about the size, when it looked like this (pre-blocking):
It looks a little bit better here, laying down:
But it looks normal, and good even, after blocking:
For those of you who aren't bored senseless yet, here's a picture of it right before I finished:
And an arial view, as it's being blocked:
For everyone who has stuck around, and may or may not have sense left, here's my non-knitting contribution to the blog:

Now, back to knitting. I still have time to finish the mittens! To hell with gauge, I'm just working with the suggested needles. Podium, here I come. (Barring a crazed knitter coming at me with a crowbar and a vendetta.)
*Final KO update, before we continue with irregular scheduled programming:
This is as far as I got on the mittens, before Ricky Martin got up to shake his bon-bons onstage:
So. This was my personal best, I'm proud of myself, and I'm having a beer.
We shall resume our regularly scheduled drunken ramblings and blatherings-on about television and my stupid neighbors and whatever other shit I can come up with, next week.

Congrats on finishing the hat! I knit the Hermione hat for the KO, too! Finished Thursday, but just got pics up today--I had some gauge issues as well but it fit anyway. :)
Looking forward to your pictures!
Hey, look! Pictures!
I'm envious of your cables, as mine went a little wonky because I was turning the cable needle the wrong way ... but I'm done, dammit!
Yay, pictures! Your hat looks great--the cables don't look wonky at all! And you're working on the mittens, too? You are a hard core Olympic knitter!
"You are a hard core Olympic knitter!"
That's the nicest way of saying "You're a f*cking lunatic!" that I've ever heard. Thank you.
