Keeping myself honest

I'm nearing the end of the mindless stockinette socks (I actually sat in the poker room at the MGM Grande and knit today while The Gambler did his thing), and Coachella may go into hibernation (I hear that it cooled off back home while we were gone). So soon I will have to decide what project to start next. One thing I have to keep in mind is that we are going to Europe for 3 weeks on October 6th, and I picked up this dress to use as the "nice outfit" for the trip: There's a long list of projects that I have yarn for: Dropped lace scarf out of the purple Parisienne Purl scarf out of the red Parisienne and red Malabrigo, or maybe I'll use Boku plus red Malabrigo with the Parisienne. Clapotis - out of Fleece Artist KidSilk 2 ply (I'm in a Claptois KAL that starts in late September) Rogue - out of Mission Falls wool Flair - out of Patagonia nature cotton Dragonfly - out of Elsebeth Lavold silky wool and silky tweed Half Obi - out of Giotto Chelsea - out of Autunno and 2 skeins of teal Manos Sahara - out of Cherry Tree Hill Silk 2 button jacket - out of Colourworks (bulky) Lite Brite - out of Noro and Cascade 220 Melody's Shawl - from the kit Trillian 42 gave me as a VD present. And, there's another friend having a baby - a boy, so I plan to knit some Saartje's booties plus a Norwegian Baby Cap out of an orphan skein of sock yarn that is a blue/black marl. Not to mention all that other sock yarn that should be knit into socks...
