There were, of course, some notable knits in the Olympic opening ceremonies. Really, what good is a winter olympics without knitwear? I combed a multitude of blog posts and *news* articles critiqueing the fashion statements made by the various nations' designers, which revealed to me that opinions are likeassh- navels; everybody has one.
Including me.
The knits (hover over each photo for my comment):
Andorran sweaters (that look Norwegian to my Norwegian eye).
Estonian hats and mittens (of course).
Latvian hats, scarves, AND mittens.
Swedish hats, scarves, AND leggings.
The Russian women's coats. Not knit, but fabulous.
Tongan hats.
On behalf of the knitters of the world, all I can say is, Show us the patterns!
* I almost didn't include the USA because those sweaters are so eye-blazingly ugly, but the senile aunt comment made me do it.
