So. 400 grams of worsted-weight Finnish lambswool, nice and soft. Two skeins cream, two skeins beige. What the heck am I gonna make? It's not enough for a large project, but might make a couple smaller pieces that would do well as Christmas gifts. Only no one I know wears mittens, few wear hats, and scarves are boring. So boring. Maybe patterned scarves. But still, just the idea of a scarf puts me to sleep.

Kirsten wears sleeves and legwarmers, but the neutral colours aren't funky enough for her. Oh, if only I had about 20 more skeins, they're the perfect colours for the sweater that I want to make for Andrew. Damn, it'll take a lot of yarn to cover that boy.

Maybe if I found a really pretty hat-and-mitten pattern I could tempt someone with them. (By the by, I found a great free-knitting-patterns blog.)

What I'm doing, I guess, is collecting myself a stash. That's knittese for all of those balls of yarn that you buy "just because"-- they're so pretty, they're so soft, they're on sale, you had some extra cash, your parents were in Finland-- with no project in mind...
