Let the games begin

Our Tivo was diagnosed with hard drive failure last weekend: DEAD. The replacement arrived yesterday and is up and running, but everything I'd saved and/or programmed into the old one is, of course, lost.

Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics, London 2012, is the first thing I programmed into the new.

I'm not sure I'll get any knitting underway during the games. #1, I sort of forgot about it. #2, I can't find the magazine that has the pattern for the Latvian socks I was going to knit as part of that KAL at the same time. #3, I don't really like knitting socks that much so why bust my ass over that. #4, Maybe I can figure out something by this evening.

Or not. Blech. Maybe I don't need the pressure of one more thing... I am so easily caught up in these things and then so often regret it.

So, we'll see. No matter what -- whether for sport, personal challenge, or pleasure -- I will be knitting during the Olympics!

Meanwhile, it's no secret that I left my heart in Scotland (or found my soul) (something happened over there)... love this:

Love Scotland.

Have a happy weekend... Let the games begin!

I'm not participating in anything other than my regular ole knitting but we did enjoy the opening ceremonies last night.

we had a ball at our LYS on friday afternoon and I very much enjoyed the opening ceremonies afterwards (thankfully DVRd since I snoozed from the D's to the S's and really enjoyed rewatching the cauldron lighting)...and since then it's been a lot more knitting and a lot less watching. sort of like back to normal around here. hope you're enjoying whatever you've decided to do!
