Ravelympics 2008

I've decided to enter three events and do a bit of a stash busting/finished off the unfinished while I'm at it.

I've entered the WIP Wrestling to try and finish the Bannisters jumper.
Got rid of stashed 4 x 200g of Bendi 8ply Mystique Opal and turned it into a CPH for me (Passap).
Designing a new pattern for Green dragonscale socks from the Cashmere sock wool from theknittery.com. Gotta love bright green sock wool. I will post the pattern when I'm finshed them.

6 day progress: So I haven't knitted ONE stitch on the Bannisters.. oops, must. knit. a. bit. every. day. Back done and cast on right front of the Opal CPH and onto the 3rd pattern repeat on the Dreen Dragons.

Total of just over 10km!!! and about 1.5km to go to finish up the stash of self patterning. Have one box of sock yarn now.. good news indeed.

Now I'm sorry I added it all up.. OMG: but doesn't include that fact that I redid some of the long socks many many times.
