I first read about the Knitting Olympics several weeks ago, (it's the brainchild of the Yarn Harlot, if you didn't already know). The idea was intriguing, but I didn't know what to knit. I'd had the Chain Link Scarf from Teva Durham's book, Loop-d-Loop, on my mental to-do list,


and it finally occurred to me that it would be perfect for the Knitting Olympics. It consists of interlocking rings (like the Olympic logo), would be challenging both technique-wise and time-wise, and I had some birthday money burning a hole in my pocket.
