olympic progress, day 13

A lot was accomplished today around here, very little of it had anything to do with this sweater... My house was definitely suffering from olympic-induced neglect. So the day before the kids ran out of clean underwear (hey, I could have waited until the day after!!) I did many, many, many loads of laundry. I found the floors in, then vacuumed & dusted all but 2 rooms in this house. All while "entertaining" my kids!!

Isn't this supposed to be a crochet blog? OK.. you said you wanted me to model my sweater.... well my photographers are all asleep & I don't feel like setting up a tripod, but my digital camera has this neat self-portrait setting... hold at arms reach and shoot! Ta Daa!! Here's my bright pink bust wearing the body of my pale yellow cardigan, sans sleeves. (I wasn't planning on modeling when I got dressed this morning!!) I managed to sew the top and side seams tonight and I did the edging on the right front panel (where the buttons will go). Next I do the left front edging with button holes, then the neck line edging and last but not least I figure out how to attach the sleeves and seam the sleeves. And oh yeah, add my lovely buttons My prediction.... Thursday with buttons....maybe....

Cool, you took your own photo. (Wonder if my camera has that function. I'm as bad with it as I am with the computer.)

Congrats on getting the laundry and cleaning done, so you can focus on the final days of the Crochet Olympics.
