For those of you who are either not knitters (huh?) or are a knitter but have never signed up for Ravlery (this just boggles the mind), Ravellenic Games coincide with the 2012 Summer Olympics held in London July 27-August 12. The games used to have a jazzier name but, it was changed when it was brought to the attention of the USOC. For more info, google "yarn harlot" and read her June 21, 2012 post.
The quickest description of the Ravellenic Games is to challenge yourself by entering event(s), usually a new project, cast it on during/anytime after the opening ceremonies and complete the project before the closing ceremonies. Each event has rules but that's it in a nutshell.
Seeing as I have a plethora of WIPs (work in progress), I went diving in the UFO bin and choose this:
The afghan is about half-way done. I'm now starting the whale and rows of red/white strips. This will be challenging but I think I can get it done in 16 days. My goal during the games, is to post pictures every couple of days to show my progress.
My goal before the games, is to to work on various projects every day and post pictures every couple of days (good practice for the actual event). Until next time, take care and stay cool.

Can't wait to see the finished product!
Me either!!
The blanket is really cute! Does it have a recipient?
The cats have been lolling around in exactly the same way. They wouldn't normally put up with the indignity of showing off so much belly fur, but really, it's been too hot to care, even for a cat. =)
