Good morning!  So a few weeks ago I blogged that I was going to be part of the Ravelympics, and I was sure you would hear more about it.....well, you are hearing more about it, but not in a positive fasion.  I just got wind of a blog from another lady named Sarah.  Her blog is called Exchanging Fire and it has caused quite a stir.  Please read it, and if you feel so inclined to comment on the Facebook page of the Olympic Committe or to give them a tweet, please do so!

I am so frustrated about this because the Special Olympics (which is allowed to use the name Olympics and even has it registered as an organization) has no problem reaching out to Knitters and Crocheters and asking them for scarf donations and specifiying how many they need.....
