400m sprint (Olympic squirrel)

**Use approx. 400m and knit fast !!!** *And best of all you can keep your eyes on the screen.* You can knit with almost any yarn (fingering to aran) **Why squirrel ?** I hadn't planned to make this - or have it as a pattern - but I found myself making it and thought it was perfect for knitting while watching the action and thought you might like to make one on what the BBC is calling "Super Saturday". Over in the Stitchnerds group we refer to shiny new ideas that we just have to knit right away as "squirrels" - we're even having a special Ravellenics laurel for them. ***If you haven't already, why not join us in the group for another week of Ravellenic fun? *** ? - [link to the group thread][1] **Same border, different shape**: [wraptastic][2] **Two other simple garter stitch knits for the games:** [Just Start It - 2016][3] [Just Knit It - 2012][4] **More boomerangs** (*my husband came up with the name back in 2013 to distinguish the shape from a triangle and a crescent I had in the [Linen Weaves collection][5] and it seems to have stuck*) : [boomerangs bundle][6] **For those interested in adding a border up the 2nd side** - [info here][7] [1]: http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/stitchnerds/3461185/1-25#1 [2]: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/wraptastic [3]: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/stitchnerd/just-start-it---2016-4 [4]: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/just-knit-it---2012 [5]: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/linen-weaves [6]: http://www.ravelry.com/bundles/boomerangs [7]: http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/stitchnerds/3479616/51-75#57
