Olympic Crafting Hiatus


I’ve been taking a bit of a blogging hiatus because there is a big distraction in my life these days… the 2010 Winter Olympics!  Yeah!  I live in North Vancouver, so have been lucky enough to partake in some of the Olympics festivities in and around town.

I’ve been doing a wee bit of crafting…but it has been slow.  I’m used to multi-tasking…where I knit/sew at the same time that I’m watching a movie or tv show.  As a result – I mostly listen to the program and occasionally glance up at the tv screen. 

My new hubby (a.k.a. the crafting widower) is convinced that I can’t really multi-task while crafting…because I’m always asking him questions when I glance up at the tv screen – since I’ve missed a key bit of dialogue or I can’t keep the characters straight.    

Needless to say, when Olympic events are often over in a matter of minutes or seconds, I can’t even kid myself into thinking that I can multitask – because if you glance away from the screen for even a few seconds, you miss the perfect sporting achievement e.g. the perfect aerial ski jump or hockey goal.  As such…my knitting and sewing are on the back burner…or being done sporadically at the moment.  Sigh.
