August cast on mania challenge starts tomorrow!

Hi everyone, It's been a while and I have decided I need a challenge to make me post each day and today whilst I was checking out the stashdown group on ravelry I discovered a new challenge has been set up called August cast on mania and the aim is to cast on something new everyday in August, of course it's okay to cast on as many or as few as each participant wishes, but I am going to set my sights high as usual (and probably fail-lol) and aim for something new every day in August :0)
Here is my list in no particular order that I will be working from, all of them are new except for a  favourite sweater of my sons which the dog ATE, yes you read correctly 2 small sad faces came to me carrying the chewed up sweater in distress so cutting off a sleeve and picking up stitches to reknit the sleeve will count as 1 days new project.
