  3. This is such a lovely grab-bag of yarns, it's hard to say what all I might make. There's enough here for several projects. I agree the BEBE would be great for baby hats. I think I might use the rest to give a mini-face lift to the livingroom - the navy and ivory for a cushion cover, and the rest for accent pieces like a tissue cozy, coasters and such.

  7. There are so many possibilities with these yarns, but I like the idea of some cute stuffed toys. Not sure what, maybe some amigirumi style.

  11. Hope I'm not too late!
    I love these last ones because so many have fibers other than wool - I'm rather allergic to wool but find it hard to get hold of interesting non-wool brands here - so these are very exciting!

    The Rowan Wool Cotton I'd combine with some lovely Roma I have to finally knit a scarf that doesn't itch me! And I'm sure I could create some interesting gloves with that last one

    Thanks for your kindness at thinking of giving! I'll have to reconsider me stash too!

  12. I'd make a new scarf for my son out of the blue as he's spending much of his days in the woods playing capture the flag! I'd make a new hat for my daugther out of the green and then I'd use the cream to make something warm and soft for my new nephew - maybe a small beanie or tiny booties!
