I must admit, the opening ceremonies for my own personal Ravelympics were nothing compared to the drum-beating, calligraphy-dancing, torch-flying festivities in Beijing. However, I think this year's competition is shaping up nicely.
(For my non-knitting friends and family - "ravelympics" is an once-every-four-years event that coincides with the Summer Olympic Games and is hosted by Ravelry - a website that's sorta like facebook for knitters. The idea is to pick a project and challenge yourself to complete it during the time the Olympic torch is burning at the Games. So, like 16 days or so?)
I'm knitting the February Lady Sweater. I'm past the raglan increases, although my stitch count got off a bit somewhere and the numbers for dividing the sleeves didn't quite match up with the raglan increases - anyone else have that problem? At this point, I don't think it will be really noticeable, but I'll have to see once I get a bit more of the body knitted. Luckily, with this style of sweater, I can try it on as I go!

Love love love to knit. Cannot bring myself to do it under pressure. But I appreciate those who can!
Good luck with your sweater and GO TEAM!
