Another reason to watch the Olympics

The Olympics are beginning in Beijing China in 13 days. Just enough time for you to pour through your patterns, stash, notebook or whatever and choose something to knit...

...Back up.... Sometimes all we need is just the right motivator, deadline or swift kick in the seat to get moving. Need one?

The 2008 Ravelympics!!

Do you have something you've been wanting to knit? Challenging? Need a reason to focus on one project?

Click over to the above link and take a look. How much fun is this? Knitters are signing on with a commitment to knit a specific project. Cast on the moment opening ceremonies commence (August 8th, 7am our time) and you have until the closing ceremonies to complete. Swatching early is allowed...

There are many events to choose from. (I'm training for the Sweater Sprint, hoping to compete with the Rorschach Sweater)

Read about it, think about your current training condition and send the shop and email to let us know if you are in. Nothing organized here but I would love for you to send us picture updates so I can share them with everyone! ..And we can all cheer you on!

Here's to a finished project or bust!!
