There's lots of other patterns out there, I love knitting jewellery and necklaces - most edgings and lace inserts make great chokers or bracelets.

I have just started knitting this (http://www.knitandtonic.typepad.com/dreamswatchwrap.pdf) and it is really fun and pretty.

One of my favorites

As a variation on the bag idea..how about a lovely small clutch purse style FO?

Thank you all for the lovely ideas!!

Lissalue, I love the headscarf! That is a great idea. and willowangel for the lovely inspiring bracelet.
I've never done headscarfs or bracelets, maybe this is the time to try it!!
I like the bag ideas a lot too- and may have to use them in the future:grin:

It's so fun to see all your ideas! I'd love to see more:muah:

This just in!
