need ideas for wool

[i'mhooked]

Hi, I bought 7 skeins of Patons SWS yarn (70% wool) in the maroonish berry color. Now I dont know what to do with it. DH will murder me if he finds I bought this yarn just because it was on sale with no project for it-- HELP !!! I thought maybe I could try myhand at felting but not sure I can with a front loading washer (not to mention I have never done it before anyway). Any and all ideas are welcome, apreciated and begged for!

Dunno much about Felting. I think you can felt in a front load WM. Ya might try the Felting section for info on that... Um anyway, here's an idea... Hat-Scarves, ya know, the Hat thingys with the long Scarf portions...
