I prefer the scrap yarn afghans because it uses up my scraps but I never run out of yarn because I'll run out of a certain color and buy another skein. Isn't that fun?

I also make dish cloths as add ons to presents and also scrubbies. I am always being asked to make one because theirs wore out so I try to keep a bunch on hand. I sent a couple to my granddaughter along with my gift of crystal goblets I got for her shower and then her mom comes up with needing a couple more. Hot pads are another thing I make a lot of for gifts. I don't think I told the story of the crystal goblets. will keep it brief, I think. My DH is a Mason and every so often the ladies of the Eastern Star hold a sale to raise money for various charities and there were two boxes of lovely Lenox crystal, clear base and the goblet part was pale green with a floral etching on them. They had never been used and there were 8 and the tags on them originally sold for $20.00 each. I asked what they wanted for them and Mary said make a donation. I offered $25.00 and got them. Wow! I was so pleased because they are so my granddaughter. I mailed them off last week and had Pack Wrap mail them so they did all the packing and they arrived safe and sound. I can't make the shower but will be in NC for the wedding in October with the quilt and some things I've crocheted.
