On February 12 at 9 p.m. EST (6 p.m. PST) — Mass Cast On begins when the 2010 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremonies begin! Challenge yourself to finish one or more projects by the time the Games close on February 28.
Team Wool-Aid will have two Ravelympics campaigns that we encourage you to join – (1) a Wool-Aid Ravelympics 2010 Sock Campaign and (2) a Wool-Aid Ravelympics 2010 Vest Campaign.
For these two campaigns we will be rolling out exclusive designs from some of our very own Wool-Aid member-designers. Both designs are being created especially with the requirements of our Wool-Aid campaigns in mind – in worsted, aran, and/or bulky weight yarn:
Cozy Toes socks by Christiane Burkhard
Keep Me Warm Vest by Donna Stypczynski and Jackie Lambert
