I got it all figured out!  The brown yarn from yesterday will become the Cabled Cardigan* from Spring 2007 Knit.1.  Generally I didn't love the patterns in that issue and I bought it for the skirt pattern that after reading didn't like anyway.  (You knit a tube and then sew ruffles onto it.  I wanted to knit the ruffles, but didn't really feel like figuring all of that out)  However, it's got a really cute cable, hooded cardi in it!  And I've been looking for a good aran style sweater for a long time.  And what better way to do it?  2 weeks anyone?  Think I can do it?  It will be a stretch for sure.  The yarn isn't even dry yet.  Yikes!  I've got it in front of the heater, though, so hopefully I'll be able to get started tonight. 
Oh, I looked at the MRSP on the original tag and it didn't say $58.00, it says $188.00!!!!!!  I just tore up a nearly TWO HUNDRED DOLLAR sweater!!  And it was brand new!  The $58.00 tag was the "compare at" price on the Ross tag.  I almost feel badly...  but really what it means is I got a friggin' screamin' deal!  Now I just need to re-knit it into a beautiful sweater. 
*Sorry the link is from Ravelry... if you're not on there, I don't think you can see it.  It was the only picture of the particular pattern I could find.
