So while some of the world's best athletes were finishing up a leisurely 26.2 mile run this morning, I was binding off my Wood Hollow Vest!
I wouldn't have reknit this from the bottom up if it weren't for the challenge of the Ravellenic Games. There was one night of knitting where I thought I would n e v e r reach the armhole shaping decreases, but every Olympic event has that moment where you hit the wall and just have to keep going.
And I'm so glad I did, because I love this vest and I will sport it proudly!

Congrats to all the Ravellenic athletes, and, of course, to the real Olympic athletes who inspired us and united us for two amazing weeks!
WOW. That is gorgeous! I bet you will wear that for years to come, it's so pretty and has so many great memories of the Olympics knitted into it!
