Training for the Knitting Olympics started today. I cast on and started a two two rib in Magic Loop. I knit 5 rows. All of this was done on the TTC: bus, subway and subway station. It started very slowly. The cable shifting is very fiddly, but I was able to increase my speed after row 2. Maybe I should reconsider doing Magic Loop and buy a short cable needle for the Olympic event. Unfortunately I probably have to special order it. I'll see how it goes tomorrow.
