Boredom Blanket

I got a giant ball of wool from my mother in law, and wasn't quite sure what to do with it. It's kind of a weird wool and I think the only thing it can work for is a blanket, so it has become the thing I work on when I am watching tv (straight knitting so I don't need to think about it). The ball is massive - I figure it will take me till fall to finish it!  If you have any suggestions on what else I could do with this wool I open to ideas!
