This past week I joined the Ravelympics 2008 and created a little team which Shanta has named Team Overly Ambitious Yet Plausibly Possible (OAYPP).
I solicited just a few Ravelers to join and was successful. A few days later, folks began popping out of nowhere wanting to join in on the fun.
In case you don't know, the Ravelympics 2008 is to be held during the same days as the Olympics 2008. Each person or team working on a project is to cast on during the opening ceremonies of the Summer Olympics and must be finished by the end. So, August 8 through August 24.
Yeah, its' 17 days.
Naw, not too much pressure there...
So far OAYPP is 45 strong and growing. We are;

This should be fun :) Good luck to everyone!
I am so disappointed I can't join in on the fun! Looks like a good group. What are you going to make Carolyn?
What a fun name and a great mascot!
Thanks again for the invite--I'm definitely going to take part in the Mitten Medley (I'm hoping to get the latest VK soon so I can make the cover mittens--brooklyntweed's design!); and maybe the Sock Put, I don't know yet.
Hey - I never even thought I could FINISH something. Sign me up. I will finish the Fratello's. Given my state of commitment to things these days, it will be a big deal.
PS Thanks for the comments. And those dreams were tame.
I am so impressed. This is a real inspiration for me to finish at least one of my works-in-progress.
ewwwww is that red ant? Ouch!
Carolyn, I'd love to join. I've got a sweater I need to finish and a tank to get done. I'm laid up with a bum foot, so I have no excuse, right?
Melodye
Wow, there are a lot of us! Yay! I'm want to finish all my UFO's. Let's see if I can do it. There are 8 things to finish, I believe.
Good luck everyone and thanks for the invite.
Sounds like a lot of fun. Good luck!!!
Let the games begin! Good luck OAYPP!
