During the Winter Olympic Games, there is a very fun knit-along called the Ravellenic Games- you cast on during the opening ceremony of the Olympics, and knit like the wind to finish your project by the end of the closing ceremonies.

If knitting really were an Olympic event, these are definitely the knitters I'd want to have on my team.
