The End of the Olympics

So it has been a couple of days since the closing ceremonies and I thought I should recap all of my feelings and thoughts about the Olympics and the Ravellenic Games in this blog post.

So I finished my shawl on friday and I probably should have posted about it then, but that would mean that I would be a good blogger and we wouldn't want that. Here is a picture of it right after the last row:

It came out really nicely, right after that I headed up to West Palm Beach and was kind of at a loss as what to work on. It was a super weird feeling, but it was definitely a good weight to have off my shoulders. Here is picture of it blocked:

It came out pretty huge, it was even bigger than the murphy bed that I usually block all my lace projects on, which is pretty huge. It is going to look very pretty up on my wall once I decide where to put it.

So now that I am done with the yarn crafting I should probably talk about the actual Olympic games with the athletes and stuff. So as a whole I am very sad to see it go. So many gorgeous men in skimpy underwear. It is certainly a sad day. It is also super inspiring seeing these people have spent their entire lives training for this one chance. Alex Day, a youtuber, put it very eloquently. It is like watch a show of people's greatest moments one after another. That seeing all their hard work come together. It is very interesting seeing how they act and thinking what it must be like.
