I have a ton of this stuff. There is a cake of black sport weight Playful, which I'm dipping into for my Yak Hat, and a cake of green to match the green stripe in the handspun, and a little over four hundred grams of said handspun which might be a little slimmer than sport weight, but close enough.
All told, I will have close to 600 grams of matching yarns with which to do something.
But what? What would you do with 600g of sport weight yarn?
I keep thinking Poncho, not that I ever wear those. The pattern I love most for this yarn can't possibly use it all: it's Churchmouse's Shoulder Cozy, a cowl that doubles as a shoulder warmer. I don't think I can carry off a shoulder warmer fashion-wise, but in terms of practical use, I need one bad.
It might be smart to knit the shoulder cozy in the handspun, then knit matching handwarmers and hat. I am after all going to Newfoundland in May, and staying in a little house by the water with plans for some hiking, so I will need layers.
Or maybe I should knit something more substantial that's all one project. I am at a loss, and I only hope that using up all my decision making skills on bathroom taps and toilets doesn't mean I don't knit this yarn up now that it's finally ready.
(I shouldn't speak too soon though - I still have to block it, cake it, and swatch it!)
If you're spinning today, I hope it's the good kind, and that we meet up here again tomorrow.
