what to do with this yarn?

[gretelgrrl]

Hello,

 

Against my better judgement, I fell in love with this beautiful yarn in green and bought 2 balls of it. http://www.jimmybeanswool.com/secure-html/onlinegen/currgen/Muench/TouchMe.asp They were on sale 50% off, but I still couldn't convince myself to buy more than 2 (they are expensive!). After crocheting with one of them, I realized how little yarn 61 yards is. I undid the scarf I had started. They are very small balls and it's barely enough to make a short, thin scarf (61 yards per ball).

Does anyone have any ideas on something to make? It's so velvety soft and very elegant looking. I'd love to think of something small, but snuggly that I could make out of it.

 

Thanks for any tips...

baby hats or premee caps maybe?

It's so pretty! If there's not much, then how about a scarflette or a short keyhole scarf?

Fingerless gloves?

 

I also like the idea of a scarflette or some cute tiny neck warmer...

I love that yarn! I too bought 2 balls of it, in a silvery gray color. I am planning on making a small evening bag out of it if I ever get the chance. Wish I could buy a lot of it too! Touch Me is the perfect name for it, I frequently pet it.

What about a ear-warming band?

This is what came to my mind.

the ladies at my LYS made a nice scarf out of it and washed it to felt the wool content down a little bit.. it turned out absolutely fabulous!

Oh My! That is sooo pretty!

 

Sorry, no idea what to make with it. But pretty pretty pretty.

Thanks guys

 

 

lots of good ideas! I'm going to think on it a little longer - I'll let you know what I decide. I like the ideas of an evening bag or a small scarf...

It's just sooo soft.

I wish that I could afford 5 skeins- but $15 a pop is a lot!

 

thanks for all of your wonderful suggestions
