Knitting Projects Up for Grabs

I'm getting close to done with everything in my "for real" knitting queue, including one Secret Project. Does anyone want anything? I make no claims on speed, I think it took me two years to get to doing the squid hat for [livejournal.com profile] kelkyag,, but if it's something for someone's kid, I will certainly attempt to make it sized for the kid at the time it's done rather than the time it's requested. :)

Kelkyag poked and prodded until I pulled out the lace patterns, and I actually found one I like!

I think I would like the Lilac Time Runner (p. 77) shortened by 2 pattern repeats so that it looks like the middle of the Lilac Time Afternoon Tea Cloth (p. 75). This is all in Marianne Kinzel's _Second Book of Modern Lace Knitting_ and is something I can do myself after I finish the Aeolian Shawl (assuming I ever overcome my fear of running out of yarn).

I'm thinking of an eggshell white cotton for the yarn. Or perhaps white cotton naturally yellows over time?

I think white cotton does yellow over time, but it does not seem reasonable to only have the color you want after a couple of decades. :)
