Using up

 I found a couple partial balls of Lion Brand Go For Faux as well as some balls of Lion Brand Hometown in my stash, all of which are a bulky weight.  What to do with them was the question.  An extensive search online led me to think I could use it up making hats for donation so here is what I've accomplished so far....


I think there's enough left to make two more hats.  Using  8 mm needles so they work up really fast.  

- THIS takes you to a PDF for a really cute quick project that would make a nice gift.

- THIS is most definitely an awwww-worthy thing!

- There are all kinds of ideas HERE for presenting a monetary gift.

- I'm always rather fascinated by THIS technique, but I really don't know how my machine would like it.  Anybody tried it and can tell me how it went?

- If I did more decorating for Christmas, I would love to do THIS.

- I keep the cards we receive and use them as gift tags the following year, but I like THIS idea too.

Today the quote is from Donald E Westlake..."As we struggle with shopping lists and invitations, compounded by December's bad weather, it is good to be reminded that there are people in our lives who are worth this aggravation, and people to whom we are worth the same"
