You know you love a challenge!

Is anyone competing in the 2006 Knitting Olympics? It's a challenge cooked up by none other than The Yarn Harlot herself. Basically, the idea is to pick a challenging project and complete it -- start to finish -- while the Olympic torch is burning in Torino.

I love the Winter Olympics (all those sports I don't understand, plus figure skating is pretty!) so I think this could be a really fun project. I just need to come up with a project that is "medal-worthy."

If anyone's interested, we could do a swap -- each knit something during the Olympics and send it to the other person? I don't really know how these things are supposed to work, but let me know if it sounds fun.

This sounds like just the thing for the Flower Basket Shawl I've been contemplating starting. It will probably be one of my most "challenging" projects thus far, so I suppose that qualifies... Can't do an exchange on it though... unless you want to knit the exact same thing for me in the same yarn I'm using ;-)
