(***EDIT** For lack any other inspiration, I've called us Team Buttercream (because frosting is awesome). The link for the group is here, feel free to join!)
And now, on with the FO!!
Pattern: Dipped Infinity Scarf
Yarn: Tanis Fiber Arts Dipped Infinity Scarf Kit The 'green' colourway
Needles: 5 mm
Mods: Went down half a needle size.
Notes: I got this scarf kit for Christmas from my wonderful husband. I'm in love with Tanis Fiber Arts yarn, and I make no secret of that to my husband (or anyone else, for that matter). I was so excited to start on it- I cast on Christmas Day, even though I didn't have the exact needle size with me- I figured 5mm was definitely close enough, and I didn't want to wait until I got back home (which was days away) to cast on. The pattern is simple and intuitive, and really addictive- it's so much fun switching the colours, and watching how they work together. I wasn't sure how I felt about the yellow towards the end, but once it was all worked up-- magic!

Oooh I want to do ravelympics too but have been fairly timid about joining a team. I'll be on yours though! my rav ID is caitling1212
Those colors are amazing! I like the stitch pattern also. Hmm...thinking about checking out that kit myself!
I didn't do Ravelympics last year but was considering it for this year, but haven't joined a team, so I'd join your team..I'm serafina on Ravelry. I have a LOT in my queue and would love the pressure of Ravelympics to get me motivated!
Didn't we knit the same sweater for the 2008 Ravelympics? Anyone I'd be in for a team sport this year. My DH thinks I'm nuts for wanting to do this to myself again. Rav ID: Delia
PS - That scarf is to die for. Congrats on yet another fabulous FO!
That is a gorgeous scarf! Your husband chose well and your knitting is perfect as usual. :)
I've never participated in a Ravelympics before but it's all about trying new things eh. So here's my Rav ID: Salihan - Thanks Julie! me@salihan.com
It looks great Julie! I had so much fun plotting with Guy to get this scarf kit to you "in secret". I'm really glad you like it! I love your FO shots! So fun with the black background. Your photographer rocks!

I think I could do the ravelry olypmics. I have a vacation weekend in feb, so it sounds possible! I'm ibunnysavetroy!
The scarf turned out beautifully! You can just tell it's scrummy-soft...
I don't know if I'd have time to finish anything big, but if you're knitting small things I'd love to join you- I'm angelfish on Ravelry :)
LOVE the scarf! The yellow suits you so well!
If you get a team together I'm definitely on board!

gorgeous scarf! I love having options.
I'm afraid I wouldn't be a very reliable teammate this year, but I'd be happy to be a team cheerleader :)
My Rav id is Shamupops, I'd love to join your team! That Infinity Scarf is so amazing! Pretty colors!
Just lovely. I love the photos!
I've been debating the ravelympics for the last month or so, but without the motivation of a team, wasn't too sure...but it could be fun with your offer! my rav ID is BeanerShnump.
I'd love to join your team as well! Vautrey on Rav.
I love that scarf. The colors are amazing. I'd love to join the team. I'm blackday1012 on Ravelry.
scraf look amazing!!
Your dipped infinity is beautiful! The colourway looks perfect on you.
I love it! I think I especially love the yellow :)
My knitting group started a group for Ravelympics this year... I still haven't decided if I'm doing it. If I do... then I think I'm doing Ysolda's Vine Yoke Cardigan. But I have so many other projects that have to get done first... that's why I'm waivering.
That is so pretty! I love the colors and how they all work together.
Superb cowl and that awesome that your husband think about it by himself !! My own bf isn't enough sure yet to buy me yarn, but I work on it... ;)
I want one of those kits. In that same colorway, actually. :) Looks great.
It's a very extremely lovely cowl.
I also have to mention: are you a model or what? Srsly, cause you look like one!
Also: Buttercream = awesome. Not only because it's delicious, but also because Team Buttercream rhymes.
Sweeeeet.
The colors just pop! It is truly beautiful!
Your scarf is beautiful! You did a great job! I can't believe how fast you knit that up. Amazing!
My ravid is ceesh978, and I'd love to be on your team!
how big can a ravelympics team be? i've never done it before... but i think i would like to this year! got room for one more?

hi, I just stumbled upon your blog and love your cowl! I've never thought about knitting one before, but this has changed my mind for sure. I just joined up for Team Buttercream on ravelry, hope that's alright. My id is grainline.
Wow, that is GORGEOUS! No input on a team - I signed up to be on Team Blue Moon ages ago, and may bow out. Me not so good with knitting under pressure (even if it's not really "pressure").
Wow! That end effect is absolutely stunning!
I love that colorway of the dipped infinity scarf. Tanis really does have a gift for combining colors and I've loved seeing the kits that she's developed this past year.
I totally stumbled upon this by way of Google Reader.
Love the scarf, the colours are gorgeous. I think I might have to make one too:)
I would love to try out ravelrympics this year and would love to be on your team. I am not a very seasoned knitter, but I am up for a challenge. My ravelry ID is MaryKay.
This scarf is so beautiful, I LOVE the colors!
