I am reviving up for Ravelympics 2008.
Here is the starting line up for my Team Chicago/ Sweater Sprint Event.
I am knitting Santa Cruz Hoodie from Knit 2 Together.
In center court are 6 skeins of Cascade 220 Heathers. The hoodie will be two toned with contrasting colors. The main color is sort of a purple-ish/red-ish color and the contrasting color is sort of a brown-ish/red-ish color. I am knitting with Knit Pick Options Interchangeable needles sizes 7 and 8.
Since Cascade 220 is not as bulky as the yarn in the pattern, I have to do some math to determine the right amount of stitches for the gauge.The websites listed below have useful tips on how to substitute yarn and how to calculate to determine the number of stitches for the appropriate gauge.

I am also a ravthlete for Team Hopelessly Over Committed/Work In Progress (WIPs) Wrestling Event.
I will be finishing 2 Lady Eleanor Entrelac Stole during this event.
Yarn: Silk Garden Lite
Needles: Denise Interchangeable size 6
BEST WISHES TO ALL RAVTHLETES! LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!
