My husband's Grandmother, Gwen, sent this Classic Elite sweater kit my way when she realized she would never knit it up. Included are eleven 115 yd skeins of Inca Alpaca in a wine color, one each in eight other colors, plus a natural and grey skein of Caravan Camel. Wow. There is plenty of the wine for a long sleeve pullover for me, but what do I do with the other skeins? My eyes are bleary from searching Ravelry for hours after receiving the package. Any suggestions? Wednesday, July 1, 2009
Holy Guacamole.

Wow, that's the kind of thing one dreams about! You are one lucky granddaughter-in-law!
What a nice surprise gift! Perhaps you could make an afgan / blanket with the rest?
I like Kat's afghan idea! What a bout a log cabin?
What a wonderful surprise! I love the afghan idea - Log Cabin, The Great America Aran Afghan...both would be good!
Hats and mittens! Cushy scarfy shawly things. Colorwork! I'm sure the yarn will tell you what it wants to be.
Capillifolium (Alice Starmore) for little ones..? Love the rich colors. Lucky you for sure!
you could just sit and stare at it. it's so pretty!
A fine little top down baby sweater with some fairisle yoke work would make those colors sing baby sing!
