knitty two shoes

Good news! I finished the last item I will need to ship for Christmas! This makes me feel somewhat better, I must admit.

Recently, Eat Sleep Knit sent out an email saying they would no longer be carrying Madelinetosh’s Mansfield Garden Party colorway due to changes in the colorway, or it being discontinued, something. Whatever it was they were wanting to sell off the rest of their stock. I’d been hoping they would get some in because I really liked the colors, even though I’m not a huge variegated yarn fan. Anyway, they didn’t have any worsted, or sock, but they had Pashmina. I happily snatched up two skeins. When it arrived , it wasn’t nearly the colors I’d expected it to be-its much brighter as opposed to the pastels I was thinking it would be. Either way, its still a pretty yarn. The yarn info is:

75% Merino /15% Silk /10% Cashmere
5.5-6 sts/inch (US 3-5)
360 yards

I looked up Pashmina on Ravelry and its used in so many different kinds of projects. I’m thinking of doing Shaelyn, but would be open to any other suggestions you might have that would use up more of the yarn. Just don’t tell me socks because I don’t know how to knit those yet!

So this is me, knitters, asking you for suggestions as to what I should do with my impulse yarn. Any ideas?
