Okay, I have a challenge. I have four cones (2 Brick Red, 2 Evergreen), about 12 oz of yarn on each. They are sport weight wool (not superwash). They are about 16-17 years old, and from a company I do not mention by name. Because of [reasons] I cannot sell them, but if I make something I can sell the finished item.

My mind is all a-flutter with ideas — a holiday houndstooth pattern? simple holiday stockings? a shawl or scarf? winter caps? maybe some clever stranding design?

I would dearly love some ideas.
