Question-tacular
Okay. So I bought some luscious like whoa silk/merino fingering weight yarn in red and black (and pink and gray). I bought it with socks in mind, but I've been thinking, and Amy agrees, it's just too nice for socks!
So I put it to y'all: What do I do with 665 yards(ish) of fancy pants fingering weight yarn given that:
1. I don't really wear hats (I have short hair -- hats make me look bald)
2. I already have the same yarn (different color) set for a scarf
3. I don't wear shawls
4. Or vests
5. Or anything with more than one color, so much
Sooooooo... recommendations?
The yarn in question:
More scandinavian mittens! Can you ever really have too many? Actually this is a tough one. Would you wear any of those cute gauntlet type things?
ReplyDeleteChild sized sweater? I dunno, I've got 960 yds and I can't decide what to do with it for many of the same reasons. I'm over scarves and shawls and hats.
ReplyDeleteHow about a picture of the yarn? I'm a visual person. I'll need to see this yarn and virtual-fondle it before I can give you a suggestion. :-)
ReplyDeleteI wear mostly solids too, yet I'm drawn to multi-color yarn. Why is that? You could make a wrap/blankie for couch? Cozy on Knitty comes to mind - it's somewhat lacy so it'd keep your interest.
ReplyDeleteWhat about a small bag?
ReplyDeleteYou could use it for part of a sweater. Make the body from this yarn and add solid sleeves, or vice versa. Or make wide stripes with black (or gray?) for contrast.
ReplyDeleteI think it could be quite striking if offset by a nice bold solid.
