Are you a knitter? I need pattern help! Santa's Village 12 Days of Christmas spinalong

Worsted weight handspun yarn needs a pattern!  Do you have any recommendations?

 Q

Q

If you've been following me on Instagram, you may have seen bits and pieces of this spin come together: it was a really fun spinalong with Inglenook Fiber's group over on Ravelry.  Spun from fluffly batts of a blend of wools, silks, and sparkle, I ended up with a (mostly) worsted weight yarn.  This was a bit of an experiment for me, playing around with spinning thicker loftier singles than I frequently aim for for weaving, and I learned to chain ply!  It was super fun and super satisfying.  But now I'm stuck! 

I want to knit this up into something just for me, I'm leaning towards a small shawl or scarf.  My problem is that almost all of the patterns I have saved are for fingering weight yarn in larger yardage quantities than I have here.  I have approximately 190 yards of mostly worsted weight yarn.  I'm looking at the Quaker Yarn Stretcher pattern or at a more free form short row experiment, but I'm not entirely in love with either idea....  do any of you knitters have any suggestions for me?

Finishing up some lingering spindled wips ... this is gorgeous sparkle merino dyed by @wovennyhandwovens for our Yule fiber exchange... I feel like it might need to become someone's hair? #dollsonthebrain #mugshotthursday #spindle #supportspindle #spinnersofinstagram #woodlandwoodworking #woodlandwoodworkingspindle #cauldronspindle #fiberwitch #yarnmagic #imakeyarn #handspun #igspinners #bristleconeartisanheirlooms #debsbowls #14milefarmhandwovens
On the one hand I want to make a little dress with pockets for this bunny, on the other hand I'm just entirely too smitten with this kitty and mouse and flowers print to want to cover it up... this sweet Rabbity has been getting enthusiastically loved upon by a certain Berry Pie and thriving with the love. #mamamade #handmadedoll #bunnydoll #makersmovement #dollmaker #handspunyarn #handmadechildhood #wahm #momswhomake #14milefarmhandwovens
Remember this Blue Lace Agate weft on milk/wool? Turns out I have a couple skeins left, so there will be a couple of cowls in this colorway coming up! #stonesthatheal #bluaceagate #breastfeedingsupport #postpartum #postpartumhealing #crystals #energyhealing #fiberwitch #lactationsupport #yarnmagic #14milefarmhandwovens
I spy with my little eye... I'm so excited about this new addition to the studio. I've been hoping for a smaller loom to pop up locally and ask to come home with me! She'll be housing runs of teatowels and scarves, letting me use both big looms for babywearing pieces 😍 We're going to try out eachother's paces with some collection-busting teatowels... I'm naming this colorway "Getting to Know You" and there will definitely be some available! #newloom #studio #artstudio #textile #weaver #mightywolf #schact #inthestudio #behindthescenes #weaving #handwoven #newtoolsnewtoys #loom #14milefarmhandwovens

I made a sock! I've been so intimidated by sock knitting, and now I'm halfway through two matching pairs (one mama size, one toddler size), and I have a skein awaiting me for the next pair. It'll be a slow slow road, but I'm liking this idea of #operationsockdrawer. I've got a couple in my Ravelry queue already, but I'm curious what is your favorite sock pattern? #handknitsocks #knittersofinstagram #handmadewardrobe #slowfashion #sockknittersofinstagram #handmade #14milefarmhandwovens
Morning sun and beautiful texture.

My daily spin: from sky to spindle... working with the colors of the #auroraborealis just brings me so much joy. I'm debating between weaving or knitting with this spin, either way I think it's something selfish for me 😍 What would you make? #northernlights #spin15aday #spindle #spinning #woodlandwoodworkingspindle #bristleconeartisanheirlooms #dropspindle #supportspindle #dancinggoats #solnceslings #solncephases #wemakeyarn #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspinner #14milefarmhandwovens
The cauldron is a place of transformation and abundance, connected with the womb and the Divine Feminine. #garnet #cauldron #giveaway #sjgiveaway @soliloquyjewelry
