Seeking ideas for Rowan Cashsoft DK and Kidsilk Haze
So I started a pair of Mrs. Beeton's for part of a swap I am in (not One Skein, my project for that is totally different and about 75% finished already). I am using the Rowan Cashsoft DK in Opulence and Kidsilk Haze in Liqueur (OMG they match beautifully!). After my first attempt at the beaded long tail cast-on, which resulted in much crying after realizing I had dropped a stitch while transferring the cast-on stitches to the remaining DPNs, I decided to skip the beaded long-tail cast on and work it into the top bell edging. So I did the long tail cast on in the Cashsoft for the bottom bell edging and all was well. I have three rows done and have had three rows done for the past week.
I am completely and utterly uninspired to work on these at all. I know the recipient would love them, but I need to have this package sent by next Saturday and there's just no way that's happening with my current dislike of said project.
Now to my point of this post... if you had these two yarns (one skein each), had a recipient who lives in the UK, and has fairly bright red hair which may clash with the yarn colors, what would you make for her instead?
Would one skein of the Cashsoft be enough for a Winecozy? I thought about skipping the Kidsilk Haze and making an Odessa, but am afraid it'd clash with her hair. I think she'd get more use out of wristwarmers of some sort, but I just do not want to do the Mrs. Beeton's at this point, and most patterns I've seen take more yarn than I have.
If anyone has other ideas, inspiration, or patterns that wouldn't take me more than a week to 10 days total, I'd love to hear them.
