Ravelympics: Finish Line

So, this post is a little late, but...whatever!
I finished the first mitten on a Tuesday...just over half through the Olympics. So far so good, I just needed to pick up the pace a little to get the second mitten done. To bad I go to school and have things due. I didn't cast on the second mitten until the Friday before closing ceremonies.
I woke up on Sunday morning only 1 and a half colours into the mitt, with a take-home midterm due that night and the hockey game to watch. I decided early that it wasn't going to happen. But heck-I was going to try anyway.
I actually managed to fly through the second mitt. I cast off 1 hour after the extinguishing of the flame (while the embarrassment that were the closing ceremonies was still on).
So, with no further ado, here they are...


This isn't a great pic of them, but I needed a quick one to post in the Finish Line. They are super soft inside and very yummy warm. I can't stop wearing them (everywhere). I carry them around when they are not covering my digits. In sum, they are fabulous.
And so...my medals!! YAY!!
