What would you make with Sugar'n Cream?
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 |

(They were like a big sock toe that fit over the cast). I put 'em in a lingerie bag to wash them in the machine, but I've forgotten whether I dried them in the dryer or laid them flat... I'm hoping I won't need them again! Gina -- Gina Bull Network Systems Information Technology and Communications University of Virginia |

I don't know.... I did make a sock out of a ball of
yellow/buttercup-ish color Sugar 'n' Cream, which turned out fairly well. Note the fact that only one sock is mentioned! Another example of my SSS(Second Sock Syndrome). I think I also have SSSS(Second Sweater Section Syndrome), but that's irrelated to this. |

Hi Laura!
It knits up nicely for a sweater, and it washes like a 'dishcloth', but it takes forever to dry. Make sure you knit and wash a swatch, or the babysweater will barely fit a cabbage patch. There were some patterns for totebags on the internet. http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/kkc-tote.html http://www.straw.com/cpy/patterns/trio-knit-bag.html http://www.sugarncream.com/pattern.php?PID=1133 And the Sugar'nCream site should has some patterns as well. http://www.sugarncream.com/ Michaela (in Canada) |

I have made a tote bag and a clothespin holder (double strand) with
Sugar n' Cream. I have also seen it used for plastic bag holders as well. Again, double stranded. I made placemats and scarves (doilies) for my living room tables. I used a filet pattern to make those scarves and it came out nice. You can check my photos to get an idea or how they look. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/seasid.../ph//my_photos You can google for those patterns that I have done if you are interested, as I can find the book marks right now. Sorry Diane |

LauraJ If you have a favorite doily pattern, could use that with the sugar and cream to make a rug.... I've also used chairsets the big part that goes on the back of the chair for a rug pattern...turns out very nice.... I also use it to make pads for my swiffer...which is pretty darn easy, just chain about 43 then sc in second stitch and continue across, ch1, turn and repeat until large enough... Shel |

I have made hot pads. Here is one made the same way I make them.
They are thick and useful - I usually make them a bit bigger than this one (chain about 45) but any size that you like is fine. I saw one website where someone was saying that little ones are handy around the microwave. String bags are another option. This website has a pattern for members (membership is free) and I suspect there are free ones elsewhere as well. http://www.sugarncream.com/pattern.php?PID=133 |

Whoops -- link for the hot pads
http://members.aol.com/Sbaycgoa/patorig.htm Curious to see this pattern copyrighted - seems like it is available in a number of places. |

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 |
