[B][COLOR=“Indigo”][SIZE=“5”]Just wanted to let you all know that Michael’s is having a great sale on their Sugar & Cream Cotton. The 12-14 oz. skein, regularly $7.99, is on sale for $5! No coupon needed! It’s such a great value for making those dishcloths and it’s the biggest skein I’ve ever seen! 713 yards![/SIZE][/COLOR][/B]
Can’t you make tanks with it too? That’s what I thought of when I saw the mambo sized skein! Of course, I personally won’t be making myself a tank this year, but I figured I’d pass along another idea!

Sure, I made one a coupla years ago, and will make another as soon as I find a pattern. I’ve seen several posted on the 'net.

Just tossing out another idea.
It makes great market bags as well. :woohoo:
oh! i am so getting a couple today! i am going to t-moble to get a new phone and michaels is just a couple blocks furthur … would 3 be enough to make a bathmat?
:woohoo::psst:Cool!! if you have an AC moore near you they take Michael’s & Hobby Lobby coupons!!!:blooby:
[B]jeanius[/B], I don’t know what pattern you are planning on using for the bathmat, but there is one from Lion Brand that uses just under 1200 yds of the Lion Cotton, so 2 of the HUGE skeins of Sugar and Creme should be fine 
I have a million gazillion projects going on right now, but as soon as you said “bathmat,” I instantly realized that I just won’t live without a hand knit bathmat for my bathroom! This board is like knitting hypnosis!! 
lol 
you will knit a bathmat
i will get 3 then… so i can make some washcloths to match :mrgreen:
I picked up one of these gigantic skeins and have already made myself a good sized knapsack with plenty left over for gratuitous dishcloths. While walking around the store looking for other knick knacks to take home, I was cradling the S&C like a fuzzy baby in the crook of my arm. If there’s still some left at Michaels, I should buy another to soak up some excess maternal instinct.
i bought 3 big balls… and two little baby balls… and some little yarn swap goodies…
:noway:and what JUST about to head over to Hobby Lobby this week to buy some S&C for dishcloths! THANK YOU!!:woot:
does anyone have a pattern for the market bags or knapsacks? sounds awesome! 
aww, thanks! you’re my hero! 
Do you think the S&C would be good for this bag that Sabrina modified. I love the way hers turned out!
i don’t see why not. it’s always worth a try!
go for it!
I saw it at Michaels when I was there today… Those things are huge!! Didn’t have any colors left that I wanted unfortunately! :x
:passedout:
i think S&C would be perfect 4 that bag 
I just got back from Micheal’s…and I picked up a couple of S&C, one that I will use for the bag. And the other for dishclothes for me. They also had Lion Brand Incredible Ribbon Yarn on clearance for $2, so I found enough to make a summer top with it. I found it easier to knit that some Crystal Palace Ribbon Yarn, and I couldn’t pass up the price!
