Trivial Pursuits - Winter Olympics and the Ravellenic Games 2014

Don't know about you, but although I've tried my hand at skiing and skating, that's about it when it comes to Winter Sports.  But I will be watching the Olympics and enjoying the spectacle that comes with it.
If, like me, you're more of a spectator fan and a knitter you can combine your pastimes by entering the Ravellenic Games.  Run by the website Ravelry, it challenges knitters to start and finish a project during the Winter Olympics, using a new technique, attempting a massive project, something delicate or anything else that will expand your knitting or crocheting horizons.
There will be a mass cast-on during the opening ceremonies and you past the finish line dependent on which event you have chosen to follow. 
There are even medals you can post on your blog or ravelry profile. 
You can find out more from their website and the following links.  Events 2014   And if you've got any questions about the events, you can check out their FAQ!
Personally, I'll probably be busy with my own projects - making up stripy hats for my niece and nephew to take with them skiing.  If you want to stay warm this winter, why not invest in one of our stripy hats too.  Check them out here
