I did it. I joined the Ravellenic going on during the olympics...we used to call it something else but the olympic committee got bent out of shape, cause knitter are not athletes. But I digress. So I said I would make a pair of socks in the time the olympics ran in Rio. From the 5th of August to the 21 of August. I am normally pretty good on a deadline. This time it was close. I got done after a couple of days flat on my back with "my back is killing me". But I did it. I knit my fingers to the bone.
