It’s almost time for the 2008 Olympics! The US Trials start this weekend, so it’s time to start planning our UFO projects for this year!
Here are the rules:
1. No starting on your designated UFO before the opening ceremonies start. (August 8, 2008)
2. Finish before the flame goes out. (August 24, 2008)
3. You may choose 1 or more UFOs, depending on how much is left to do. All UFOs you intend to finish in the 16 days MUST be declared prior to the event.
4. You cannot join both the Knitting Olympics and the UFOlympics. The point of the Knitting Olympics is to start a new, challenging project. The UFOlympics is about finishing those unfinished objects laying around.
5. If you really truly need to get your designated UFO to a good stopping point, you are free to work on it through July 25th. As of July 26th, needles and hooks down!
The UFOlympics is not associated with The Knitting Olympics. They are separate events/KALs.
We have a Ravelry Group this year, so join there, or feel free to post comments about your projects on my blog here on any UFOlympics post if you aren’t a member of Ravelry (and if you’re not, why the heck not?). I’ll be starting a thread for declaring your events there today, or feel free to leave a comment here! You don’t have to choose your event yet either, we still have a couple of months to go, so there is plenty of time!

I might just have to start something now, just to have something to finish then! If I had known earlier, I could have delayed doing these 10 sleeves (finished 6 already)!
I should really join this – I have so many projects I need to finish!
I was going to join, but currently I only have two projects on the needles and I’m hoping to have them done. I *could* do my Mom’s afghan for the project for the UFOlympics, so maybe I still will join …
Ohh, I’m joining. I have a couple of socks and a couple of shawls to choose from.
