The 2006 Knitting Olympics

Several times I have seen Knitting Olympic logo on internet and I wanted to find out what it is about. I found more information on http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/olympics2006.html .
Interesting idea, I was thinking if to participate or not and suddenly I find myself trying a new kniting technique for the project. So decision was made, I am going to take my chalenge. I want to knit pullover for my sister´s daughter. She is six, she is very beautiful and I want to make something nice for her. Rules say that the project must be finished in 16 days, I believe I can do this. And after the Knitting Olympic I can make similar pullover in blue and green, because my sister has a son two :-)
