My Olympic Swatch

 
Here it is, in all it's glory. In the instructions it says it took the auther 24 hours to knit the shawl. I figure it will take me 2-3 times that. So that would be about 72 hours of knitting over a 16 day period. If I take one day off for blocking that means I will have to knit approximately ... gulp... 5 hours a day with 4 kids. I need to go have a lie down.
