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.

I will post each day the progress I made on the previous days project, this allows for a picture in decent light :0)
I hope this will provide some entertainment for everyone and some actual knitting taking place for me and I think my children will be the big winners with all the toys and dolly things finally getting made :0)
wish me luck, Love Mel x

Well at least a few of them are dolly items so they shouldnt take too long. I dont think I would have enough needles to cast on so many projects, and sadly most of my needles are on current projects at the moment. I look forward to seeing how you go Mel!
I am excited to see how I go as well, I have had so many of these in queue waiting for far too long.
Love mel x
Wowee, that's a HUGE task. Just found your blog while broswing Ravelry. Love seeing the projects and how you go
