Back? Caught up on what these 'Ravellenic Games' are? Possessed of a suspicion that I was one of the rainbow revolutionaries?
Of course I was. Not a ringleader, but lined up with a ball of rainbow gradient, prepared to be civilly disobedient. It didn't come to that (and none of us are labouring under the delusion that a lot of rainbow yarn will change anything) but sometimes it's important just to show up and be counted.
So here's my rainbow project, at just about the halfway mark. I will be making another mitten because I want one for my other hand. I have a schedule laid out; if I hit all the marks I should finish by the closing ceremonies in Sochi.

Pattern: Something Floral
Yarn: Crystal Palace Mini Mochi in Ecru and Intense Rainbow
US 1 / 2.25 mm needles
I did say recently that I don't go through mittens to warrant making more than a pair every five years, but when I looked at my Ravelry queue for something suitable for rainbow-fying, this was the most logical pattern. So here's to an indefensible number of mittens.
