Today is the last day to sign up for the Ravelympics 2008. Not to be confused with the Knitting Olympics, hosted by the Yarn Harlot during the winter games, the Ravelympics is a summer event, organised on the knitting social networking site, Ravelry.
The challenge – should you choose to accept it – is to knit one or more complete projects during the 17 days of this year's summer games. Cast on (if you're in the UK) at 1pm tomorrow and cast off by 5pm on Sunday 24 August. It's a tough challenge, but a fun one and there are events ranging in difficulty from the Hat Dash to the Afghan Marathon – an event of truly olympic proportions for even the fastest knitters, we reckon.
If you're among the thousands of knitters already signed up, do let us know: we'd love to see how you're getting on!
