Pattern suggestions

 Hi all.  Hopefully, I've chosen the right forum for this request :)

I've just received 436 yards of quivet and I'm looking for something spectacular to turn it into.  I haven't been knitting very long, but I have managed to successfully make socks (several pair, in fact), and from what I've heard from other knitters, they can be a challenge, so I wouldn't call myself a beginner, but I'm not very comfortable being called an intermediate knitter either (yes, I know I have issues).

Anyway, any suggestions what I can use the quivet for?

Thanks in advance!

I have a Rol Volant Rt front wheel 24 spoke radial laced on a Kinlin 270 rim that I've put 3500 mi on in a year and have had no problem's with, an I weigh 215-225. the only down side for me is that it is a little stiff riding but I can change that some with air pressure and tire size 25mm instead of 23mm, with the above said if I build a wheel I will go with at least a 28 2x laced for my size.

Thanks a lot.

Lovecontagious, Have you thought about a lace scarf? Not sure if you have knit lace before, but there are some easy lace patterns out there that are quite lovely.  And by the way I am so jealous of your gift of quivet - my sister looked at buying some for me when she went to Alaska, but at $95/skein thought it was way to expensive.  

RachelRollins,just curious, what does this have to do with a knitting/crocheting forum?  It looks like you're talking about a bicycle, which had nothing to do with the question at hand.
