the blue blog archives: i am team germany

And lookie, here's today's German gold medalist in Super Combined, Maria Riesch, wearing a brimmed version of the German flag cap.

PS - The boys are, of course, also Team USA. B was the first one yesterday to run to tell daddy that the US had taken back the lead in the medal count and S has spent the last week learning to play the Star Spangled Banner on his guitar! The recent USA vs. Germany curling match was a real crisis for them until they realized they could just be for whoever wins. Who knew the Germans could curl?

I love your boys.

Can the US curl?

Looks fantastic! Now, are you going to write up a pattern and share with us? My grandmother was German and she mentored me with my knitting and crocheting growing up. In fact, most of the straight needles I own and use were hers!

She would want you to share this pattern, I'm sure.

Well, Cara, the US women aren't as good as the German women. At least not two days ago. ;0)

Okey doke, Sandee, I'll post it when I'm done.

I am always torn, too!! I grew up in Germany but have lived here for over 20 years, have a family, etc.
Looking forward to the pattern, too, and especially the yarn/color choices which are sometimes hard to find.
