yarn in mail

I just got my olympic kal prize yarn today. It is panda superwash color berry compote. I love the color, and the shine of the bamboo. Looking at the yarn makes me smile. Oooooh, sparkly. Now the hard part, deciding what it will become. Will it be socks? Or a small shawl/scarf ? Have a few faved on ravelry. Or something else?

Thank you Susan.

Speedy crochet

The pink/grey/black is my 12/12/12 entry.

I made the pattern to my 3 kids' specs - at completion the size is 'just right' but it grows. They loved it that the sleeves got really long and they can now hide their hands in them. The blue/white is the first one I made, with a slightly different pattern, not counting it for this KAL.
Stretchy Snuggly Sweater, hook 6.5 mm (K), yarn "Joann sensations rainbow boucle patterns". Used one whole skein= 853.0 yards (780.0m). Started Feb 22, finished Feb 25, 2010.

The grey/black is my olympic entry. Speed skating (mostly double crochet).
Stretchy Snuggly Sweater 2, hook 6.5 mm (K), yarn "Joann sensations rainbow boucle". Also used one whole skein= 853.0 yards (780.0m). Started Feb 26, finished Feb 28, 2010 4:20pm EST while watching US/Canada hockey game.
