Knittin' Crap: Team Minecraft 2012!

Yes, time is fast approaching for Ravelympics 2012, Ravelry's fiber-y answer to the Olympics. This year I've organized (to use the word loosely) Team Minecraft. We plan to dominate the events! Well, we plan to knit and crochet a lot, anyway.

Some of you may recall (but probably not), I managed to finish two sweaters for myself during Winter Ravelympics 2010. Of course, I was unemployed at the time. This year I have a somewhat challenging Japanese pattern picked out, but I need to swatch the yarn I have for it to make sure it will work. I'll be lucky to finish this time around. Of course, I do have a good bit of vacation time saved up...
