So before Ravelry had the Ravelympics (rav link), the Yarn Harlot started the Knitting Olympics, which happens every four years at the same time as the Winter Olympics. Basically you start a project during the opening ceremonies, knit for 16 days and (hopefully) finish before the flame goes out. I didn't sign up in 2006, but I'm signing up this year. I love the simplicity of it.
I have to do something to support team Canada for Vancover 2010!!! I'm going to knit these socks, in alpaca yarn from Manitoba. They have a snowflake on them :) Perfect! And it will be a challenge!
I'll try to post some photo updates. :)

Good luck with your socks. I'm doing the Selbu Slalom. Knit On!
Hi there Alley: I'm a newspaper reporter writing a story about the Knitting Olympics. Would you be up for a short telephone interview today about your participation and your project? You can reach me at mary.vallis@gmail.com
Thanks in advance for considering it!
