What would you make with Sugar'n Cream?
Thanks for the suggestions everyone! Those are so cute, Ellen
Glad to hear it can be used for clothing. But how does it fare after being washed? I gather from Michaela's comments that it shrinks a lot the first time (which is fine with me - all my baby sweaters come out huge!). But does it get stiff or softer after many washes? Does it pill? Any other issues? Thanks! LauraJ wrote in message ups.com...

I'd try to make a swap
+++++++++++++ Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET. This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%. Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account... |

OH MAN Shel....as unfortunate as it sounds, I'm in love with my swiffer and this is a cool idea. I have lots of cotton and am getting tired of crocheting matts. Tomorrow...I'm making swiffer pads! See...you never know when you'll have an idea that makes someone else's day. Thanks! Pamjam Shel I love my swiffer too! LOL Got tired of buying pads cuz i use that thing daily (have a dog that loves to grab "handfulls" of outside and bring it in ) Was going to use cloth diapers and sew velcro on them, never got around to buying any LOL always have cotton on hand though great way to get rid of the scraps of cotton too Your welcome and glad I could make your day Shel |

Laura J wrote: I have 6 balls (720 yds) of Sugar'n Cream cotton yarn. I know it is usually used for dishcloths but that is more dishcloths than I care to make! Any ideas? Has anyone ever made a baby sweater out of it? How does it wear/wash? Thanks! LauraJ I've crocheted summer beanie-style hats, long skinny strips used as belts or headbands (about 5-6 feet long, two rows of hdc), change purses, simple pouch purses (two rectangles and a handle), cell phone holders, keychain fobs... I find it works up as a 'crunchy' type fabric, which I happen to like, fortunately! For sweaters I'd prefer mercerized cotton, or the Bernat Cottontots. I'm also planning juggling balls, perhaps other small toys would work...I'm thinking bath scrubbies for kids might work too. Michelle |

When we first moved into this house a year and a half ago I hated that
it was all hardwood. It felt so un-homey. But when I saw how fun and easy it is to clean hardwood I fell in love. I don't know if I'll ever want carpet again!
