Not even close.
Sorry for having dropped off the blogiverse, everything happened at once, then Adam was here visiting and has left again, and today's the first day since last week when I have a few minutes online!
Too bad I have nothing good to show. Here's how far I got on Little Rivers:
Although your movie suggestions helped (and I'll be announcing contest winners next week), I still wasn't able to chug through the Knitting Olympics to a gold medal. I'm dissapointed. But even more than dissapointed, I am burned out on knitting this sweater. I think I'll pick it up again next winter, after I've had a chance to forget most of it. I decided to do this for the Olympics as an extra incentive to finish it, and I still want to finish it, just now now.
Here's a bigger picture of the finished back:
It's pretty, right? I know it is, but I'm so bored, it's all I can think about when I look at it.
Oh, well. Congratulations to everyone else who DID get a medal, I admire your diligence! This contest has taught me that even outside pressure isn't enough to motivate me if I really just don't feel like knitting something! Good to know.

You deserve way more than a medal for that!!! I didn’t even claim one since I only made my ODessa! That is absolutely beautiful!

It looks gorgeous- good for you for sticking with it.
And I know you’ll probably ban me from ever coming to your site again, but I thought of one more movie- Love and Sex. Very cute rom com, I don’t think a lot of people saw it.

I think the boredom factor is why it took me three winters to complete mine. I am impressed with how much you got done!

I got really bored after finishing the back and 1/3 of the front of Little Rivers last winter and never thought I wanted so much as to look at it again. But I recently picked it up and am back on track. You will be, too … someday. What you’ve completed is gorgeous.
