Stashalong July challenge
I'm in a stashalong. To spice things up a bit, the boss decided to have a challenge. We had to list one or more UFO's that we have to finish during the month of July... I picked 3 of my recent UFO's. These kinda got forgotten about as I've got a serious bout of startitis right now and keep starting new things.
First up are my blue-green-turquoise cotton/wool socks. The yarn is something-or-other Fortissima. As they're summer socks (because of the cotton) the cuff's not very long. I've also picked a simple stitch pattern which looks great with the self-striping yarn. The colors are more muted than in this pic. I had to use the flash as it is dark outside :)
Next up is my Icarus Shawl out of the IK Summer (or was it Spring) 2006 magazine. I'm using Zephyr in Ice Blue... so the grey in the picture is actually a light blue... Actually... I used a light blue polo shirt as background. The color of the polo shirt in the pic above is what the yarn looks like LOL
And last but not least my red-pink-orange socks... also some cotton-wool blend. I think the yarn is 4 Seasons something or other yarn. And the colors are NOT as bright... If they were the color in the pic I bet I'd be arrested for grave bodily harm LOL.
Cheers Eva

Y'know, I'm not a big fan of red-pink-orange, but I could make an exception for socks from that yarn in the last picture!

This morning, the Lil Munchkin (a.k.a., The Diva)asked if you were going to finish her socks. She somehow knew you were doing the Stashalong. I do believe she has ESP. She knew what I was writing on my blog without even seeing it.
Good luck on the Stashalong! You'll feel so accomplished at the end of it!
Cheers,

lovely projects - are you using a double strand of zephyr? I love that yarn, but both time's I've knit with it, it called to double it and I was just wondering.....:)

That is a really good idea, and cute projects! I had thought about seeking a UFO KAL or starting one, but maybe checking out the stashalong is a better idea.
