I am happy to hear that Yarn Harlot is hosting its knitting olympics this year (hat tip to The Village Sheep)!
Ravelry is hosting Ravelympics, but in my opinion it's rude for them to set up a competitive game vs. the founder. There is a point of view that says the world can handle more than one but wouldn't it have been far more gracious for Ravelry to work with YH and have a joint enterprise? I mean, other areas of the world don't set up games to compete with the athletic Olympics? They sometimes put on different games but they don't call them olympics and they don't compete. Why didn't Ravelry just joined forces with YH?
Anyway, here's the YH Knitting Olympics form and there's still just time since the opening ceremonies were yesterday. I'll post a photo of the finished project and the medal, when it's done. Happy knitting!!
I don't think you're being fair. Saying that nobody but YH should do the knitting Olympics simply because she was the first one to do it is like saying that no city but New YOrk can do a St. Patrick's Day parade because they had the first one.
