Technology foiled...

I have a riddle for you - first one to solve it correctly gets something fabulous (perhaps one of the Fairisle hats I've been obsessively making)....

If Alayne has: 2 skeins of Schaefer Anne (sock yarn weight) in a terribly gorgeous purple, green, bluey mix which add up to about 1000 yards, and many many needles of many different sizes, and a lot of commuter time in which to knit, BUT an attention span of approximately one month - what will Alayne be very proud of having made in March?

In addition to the Fairisle hats, I just finished a sweater modeled off of this one:

Which I felt was much too short, but I greatly admired the shawl collar. I ended up not doing the cables and using lovely purple Alpaca Grande and a slip-stitch pattern that made it very cozy.

I am attempting to post pictures of the hats and a Max-inspired Lizard Ridge scarf and the sweater, but technology is foiling my plans.. Hopefully tomorrow I will have figured it out.

Can you get a shawl out of 2000 yards of sock yarn? That'd be my guess: a SHAWL.

Good idea. But what shawl? And can I do a shawl in a month?

Do you think I could use the Lizard Ridge pattern? Would it look good lacy?

Howsabout -
You could do Eunny's Print 'o 'the Wave (sans seam in back) - maybe a Pi Shawl? You could make a huge Clapotis!

You could swatch for a Lizard Ridge shawl, but I dunno about lacy short rows.

What about a Lizard Ridge baby blankie? Just do one big square - that would definitely be done in a month!
