a draw! No-one guessed the exact amount, but we have Fiona and Karen guessing either side of the correct answer, 258. A parcel will be winging its way to both of you shortly!
August knitting.
A lot of my August knitting involved finishing off the stuff I started for our summer holidays! And there's still stuff on needles from July and earlier, so I don't feel as if I've accomplished much knitting this month.
Fleece Artist toe up socks
The Koigu socks
The purple beaded Project Spectrum socks 
The baby hat and slip on bootees (cute!)
And finally, the baby blanket.
My September knitting list:
Finish the fixation socks (should be easy; dk ankle socks!)
Finish the LL socks in Argyle colour
Finish Flower basket shawl
Hunt some Debbie Bliss Denim yarn to finish Henley
Finish the Debbie Bliss silk shrug
Finish Swallowtail shawl (no pics yet, early days)
Finish the Dale baby cardigan
This is a tall order!
I'm only going to start something new if
1) it's a gift (and I have to knit a pair of socks for Chris's father's 80th b'day next month)
or
2) it's quick and will be finished in a few days
or
3) I finish two wips.
I want a clean(ish) slate for October and garment/Chritsmas knitting time!
Oh, and whilst I'm on about October, Bev is hosting an October birthday swap! Any October birthday people please join up! It's a pity that my birthday's in January!
Hey cool! I usually never win these kinds of things. I guess I can't say that anymore huh? Thanks!
I meant to ask you before... what is an eclectic heel? I am obsessed with heels these days.
Seems to me, you did pretty darn good with your August knitting. Way better than I did!

Lots of progress! The Swallowtail shawl is definitely on my to do list as well.

You have a busy September ahead of you! The swallowtail shawl is on my to-do list too...

I'm shocked at your plan to decrease WIPs. Mind you, I do that with clothes and shoes- One in, two out. Great for not being overwhelmed with clothes, but not for knitting.
