Knitting Olympics / Jeux Olympiques du tricot

I did a little last minute shopping in the late morning. I stopped by Pier Import, essentially for a Valentine's table center for my mom, but I spotted the basket wall. The clerk was not busy and welcomed me with a big smile and a "Can I help you?" . So we found a big, fat red scented candle and a candle holder in the Valentine spirit. Then I asked ... I'm looking of a basket to hold my knitting. She went oh... you knit... this is so cool... So we examined the baskets lined up, I explained why I needed it (Knitting Olympics) She thought this was amazingly cool. : )

Finally, we found this light, braided basket. I just fell for it. So my knitting Olympics project is well protected and I can just pick it up and go.

Basket in front of the fire place. Since it's very cold today I really was happy for the fire place.

What's in the basket : 4 Skeins of Sabrina Four seasons, Bamboo needles (4.5 mm), row counter, Wavy pattern held up by "Last minute knitted gift" book. Behind the book, I have the rustic scarf on circular needles.

I'm up to row 25 of 44 of the first repeat. So far Wavy is fun to knit
