I don’t get much knitting done in the summer, so I thought I’d share someone else’s project. Saw him in the stands tonight watching the men’s doubles final and it looks like he’s already cast on something else.

even sometimes picks up the old sticks as a way to meditate in between dives.

I have never tried to knit with an entirely wet body before (I am assuming the quoted part means he dives off the board, and picks up his knitting until it is time to dive again in a few minutes). Maybe I'll try right after showering and see what happens.

Curious when he started that sweater, because if he started when the Olympics started this year he is really fast.

if he started when the Olympics started this year he is *really* fast.

I thought the same thing lol. Sweaters take me months. His instagram shows part of it already done by July 17
