a 1 lb cone of sugar and cream, xmas on the way, WWYD?
So the title sums it up. I was gifted a one lb cone of cotten. Its a neutral color with flecks of pastels in it. It's very appropriate for the women in my family but all I know how to make with it is dishcloths! and they have plenty and I'm bored of those. Is there anything anyone can think of that I can make about 6 or so of pretty fast and put with some other small things as impersonal large family gifts for the ladys? thank you all so much in advance!

What about making small gift bags and filling with candy or a fancy bar of soap. I was given this one and it is really cute

that might work! it's a cute idea anyway. I'm not sure what i will do. I've only ever made dishcloths and have heard most people hate this yarn!

I really like sugar and cream after it has been washed, it's not so bad. Have you thaught of making dishtowels with toppers that can hang in the kitchen?? or pot holders?? maybe make all 3
(dish clothes) as a set with some yummy smelling dishsoap, and a scrubby.
I absolutely love the dishclothes... are ya sure they are sick of them, because I can't ever imagine that! lol  ,
Also check out this super cute Knit dish cloth dress pattern!!! something different~!!! http://web.archive.org/web/200611130...loth_dress.htm

How about knitted shopping bags? To help keep plastic bags out of landfills.
