Cabin knitting

I’ll be spending next week in Turkey  There’ll be plenty of time for reading, sitting at the beach, general relaxation, and, of course,  knitting.

I expect that I’ll finish Rusted Root while I’m up there; I’ve got about an inch left of knitting straight before starting the other side of the waist shaping, and that won’t require a lot of thought save keeping track of the increases and trying it on every once in a while.  I’m more than 50% complete with the sweater as a whole; it will be finished by the time I return from Minnesota.  This knowledge leads to a Very Important Question: What should I knit next?

My criteria are:

• The pattern should be easy to intermediate difficulty.  I plan to be knitting lakeside, and should I decide to throw down the knitting and jump in the lake, I want to be able to pick it up and figure where I am in the pattern with minimal hair-pulling.
• The yarn should be from my stash.  I have enough yarn that I could knit almost anything, but if the perfect pattern were to emerge I might consider buying yarn.
• I’d love to be able to use whatever I make as soon as I finish it.  Cotton or linen blends, tank tops and market bags are good suggestions.
