What to do, what to do?

Ok so now that I'm only working from my stash I have to actually come up with projects for all the yarn I have. When I first started knitting I operated on the "Oooh it's pretty and I want it!" type of mentality so I have lots of single balls of yarn and absolutely no idea what to do with them.

I have one ball of SWTC phoenix which I am trying my hardest to turn into a very very very mini clap. We'll see how much length I can actually get out of it.

The ones that are really troubling me are these:

Knitpicks Shimmer in Turquoise Splendor
and
Knitpicks Gossamer in Leprechaun

Each one only has 440 yards which isn't really enough for a full shawl.... Plus I'm not really a huge lace knitter (don't even ask why I bought a bunch of laceweight yarn because I really have no idea)

These are a few ideas
  • Candle Flame Scarf
  • Luna Moth Shawl
  • Some sort of really open lacy summer tunic - haven't found a pattern yet but I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to figure out
  • Airy Scarf from Last Minute Knitted Gifts
  • Something simple like this
  • Or I could just cast on a couple stitches, and increase on either side until I run out of yarn to make a plain triangle shawl
Anyone have any other ideas??

What about a summer scarf? Just because you "aren't really a lace knitter" doesn't mean you could be!! Also maybe a coin purse or clutch?
