Knitter in Progress

First finished project of 2010. Stats: Needles: Size 11 Yarn: Lion Brand Thick and Quick, Claret Pattern: Winter Lace Afghan, Free at Lion Brand It's very easy knitting once you get the pattern down. It makes a heavy, nice sized, lap blanket. I have also decided to participate in the Totally Useless SAL again. I'm using my jar that I started in July. I'm thinking I might divide it into two jars--one knitting, one stitching. Here is the jar as it is now--the bulky yarn from the blanket really added to the contents.

I have been thinking that I would challenge myself to some Olympic knitting/stitching a la Harlot. Right now I am thinking I would like to start and finish Bramble and the Rose by Ink Circles during the Olympic games next month. Anybody else going to give themselves an Olympic size challenge?
