My Ravelry Summer Camp pal sent me some Artfibres Golden Chai, which is just so incredibly yummy. It’s purpley-pinky, and gets about 22st/28r per 4″, according to the label. I want to find the perfect pattern for it. I have about 607 yards of it, which is a nice chunk of yarn.

Ideally, I’d like something that uses all the yardage, but getting two projects out of it isn’t out of the question.

Here are my ideas so far:

The Clementine Shawlette - (uses 438 yards) I don’t think my yarn is too variageted…

Stained Glass Scarf - (uses 325ish yards) from Handknit Holidays - I think the Chai would look great with black as a contrast, but then I’d have to get more yarn.

Flowerbasket Shawl, or similar lace shawl - would be pretty, and show off the colours, and I could do as many repeats as needed to use the yarn. The thing is, I want it to be something I wear a lot, because it is so amazing. I’m not sure how often I will wear shawls (this doesn’t stop me casting them on though. :)) Icarus might be nice…

Bainbridge Scarf - (uses 246 yards) - Very cute and different, and this yarn is made for next-to skin contact.

Maybe a Moebius?

Basalt Tank from Knitting Nature - especially with the mods that are linked…

A simple V-neck vest?

What would you do with this yarn? I’m starting to think about dividing it up between the Bainbridge Scarf and a Stained Glass Scarf, but how many scarves does one person need? (yes, I am a selfish knitter. mwahahaha!)

EDIT: ooh, I just bought Lace Style, and how about the Peek-a-boo Cloche? I have some squishy pale grey yarn for the inside…

I’m wondering if it might be too drapey for Bainbridge… although I think I still want to make it in some other yarn.
