Knitting Olympics?

So, I am considering Stephanie's Knitting Olympics . . .am I crazy

My choices:
  • Kepler--Laura, is it even doable in 16 days? (is it laughable that I haven't even started, yet?)
  • Debbie Bliss Cable & Rib Tunic from Quick Baby Knits--for the boy. Cables, but I think it's possible.
  • Picovoli--too easy?
  • Sweater for the hubby from Family Circle Easy Knits--sorry no pic--some cables on the bottom, ribbing on the top.

Basically, they're things I already have ready to go (and some, like, Kepler, are way overdue and need encouragement!)--and this is a perfect reason to get going.

Hmmmmm.....
I want to do Sockapaloooza, too. Yeesh. It's still January and I've already started trying to spread (knit?) myself too thin! :)

I'm thinking about the Knitting Olympics too. Here's what I am thinking about (already ordered yarn and pattern). Kepler is probably doable, with high motivation and focus. :) I think it is possibly very crazy for anyone to do this at all, and I will probably chicken out.

I also want to do Sockapaloooza, but I'm intimidated by all the awesome sock knitters that usually do this.

That Fair Isle would be the death of me! It is beautiful, however, and quite a feat in 16 days. :) I really thought yesterday that I wouldn't do the Olympics, that it would just be stupid to try, but who am I to turn down a challenge? :) Kepler it is. Ugh. Otherwise it may never get done. (It was supposed to be a fall/winter knitalong and I think February is about the final deadline before "winter" is officially over in my book.)
Oh, you've GOT to do Sockapaloooza! You're all about socks right now and I know you'd have a blast. I'm not going to make anything drop-dead spectacular (like Pomatomus), but I could find something nice without them being crazy-hard. :)

I know, there's KAL fever in the air. I'm trying to avoid a lot of it (haven't been on the Coffeeshop in forever!), but I do need some motivation for that dang sweater and one pair of socks in 3 months seems doable. *You can save this comment and send it back to me when I am in the throes of knitting exhaustion and prone to complaining.*

Jump on the crazy bandwagon with the rest of us! *crosses eyes & sticks out tongue*

You're all krazy, the whole lot of you! Actually, it kind of sounds like fun, but I'm a big committment-phobe wussy. Maybe I'll do it secretly, without putting my name up there. Hmm....anyway, I vote for Kepler, too! It seems challenging, yet totally doable. Good luck!
