Sue, for something really simple, how about some plain garter stitch washcloths. This yarn is so soft and will be really good for something that simple. Or do it on the diagonal with yarn overs to make it a little more elegant.
My brother just requested a new washcloth. That's all he ever likes to use. He says his last one is in shreds which take as the highest complement. Knitted projects are not meant to be put away because they might get ruined, but are meant to be used and loved to death.
Go here to see what Marci's newest KAL will be. It's in preparation for holiday gift giving. I assume it will be a new KAL but will be similar to this one. I get the impression it will be more open with projects
