Turning UFOs into Fos

I'm trying to get at least one project finished a day before I leave on vacation next Thursday (That means no more blogging until around August 1st after Thursday, although you never Know when I might find some wireless). Today I finished the first of the socks I'm designing for the advanced sock class at That Yarn Shop. I've already cast on the second and worked around an inch. I've also been working on a slanty scarf (you know where you decrease on one side and increase on the other).

It's been a real struggle for me not to start up any more projects. Ravelry has caused me to want to cast on a million multiple projects that I know I won't have the time I need to devote to them. The one project I want to start this week is my Sockapalooza socks. I really haven't picked out a pattern or yarn for them yet (I know that I don't want to knit monkeys just because everyone else is knitting them and I strive to be different). Any suggestions that you have, I'll be glad to listen to, just leave me a comment. Have a great rest of your weekend and I'll try to update tomorrow if I do anything exciting.
