Ravelympics 2010 - get your needles started...

Alright. We've established that I have no life, correct? This is what it's come to: I'm getting overexcited about the start of RAVELYMPICS 2010!

From the Ravelry website:

Time for the next round of madness that is the Ravelympics. This time we’re “gathering” in Vancouver, Canada during Feb 12-28, 2010. Goal: 2 weeks of focused, intense personal & team challenges to tackle while watching the actual Olympics unfold before our eyes.

Tonight, mass quantities of knitters, spinners and crocheters are going to start projects all at the same time when the opening ceremonies begin. Right now the count of participants is 8,729, with 33 events like Beading Biathlon, Felting Freestyle and Hat Halfpipe. There are hundreds of teams and it all unfolds live via the website with forum chats, countdowns, music and general silliness.

Oh, those wacky crafters! 

I have a few UFOs to tackle and am going to challenge myself with toe-up socks on two circulars. Whoa. Hope I don't break a finger.

So who's with me? Anybody??  Polly?

Update:Just finished my first unfinished object! Medalled! On to the next...
