Swatching Sami Queen

As I mentioned in a previous post, while at Rhinebeck I bought some Sami Queen yarn in a colorway called Royalty from Creatively Dyed Yarn. I knitted some swatches yesterday.
Tucks and industrial rib - very springy, hard to tell these are ribs from this scan

Cables and industrial rib - 4-row and 6-row cables
Next time I will add more purls around the tucks or cables when I knit, so that these features will stand out a bit more.

I only purchased enough yarn for either a hat, socks, or mittens, since I like to knit something small before committing fully to a yarn I've never used before. It knits up very smoothly. My Passap can easily handle four tucks on a needle. And I adore the color!

The only problem:  what shall I knit?
