Here are a few projects that I can share.

This pattern is called the Textured Shawl by Orlane . I'm going to use up some Louisa Harding Mulberry that has been sitting in the basement for 2 years. It's a beautiful silver pure silk yarn and I have, get this, 816 yards of this stuff! I'm a little shocked that I've left it for so long but I was honestly a bit afraid of it.

There is this pattern called Deirdre by Linden Down, that I also like. I have a great skein of Malabrigo Sock in blues and browns that would work up great in this pattern. I have a bit of a crush on Malabrigo and shawls apparently. I keep thinking shawls are for little old ladies, and yet they are so fun to knit and I love the way they look tucked into a coat or tied around my neck. Besides, there are so many amazing sock yarns out there to knit with!

How about this great cardi by Drops in Rowan Felted Tweed. I have 4 skeins in a chocolate that have been sitting in the basement for far too long that would work great with this pattern. I have never knit a Drops pattern. They have lots of great designs, all are free and lots of people have said good thing about their yarn (something else I'd like to try).

And then there is this great scarf by Sasha Kagan. I really like the simple lace pattern and the texture of the stockinette and garter stitch triangles. It's a very wide scarf that would certainly be a warm addition to my wardrobe. I was thinking of using up a cream acrylic blend that I have. I have maybe 3 skeins of of over 400 yards each.
The best thing about these patterns is that they're free and the yarn is already in my stash (or basement) which is such a bonus. Now if only I could knit all day...
Oh, I really like that shawl by Orlane! Hum... might have to add that to my list too! And I also have some stash yarn that would be perfect! Thanks for the idea :)
