With a little less than 2 weeks until Christmas we're getting into crunch time. That is... if you haven't finished your shopping list. My list.... done! :) No more shopping for me and I'm about to wrap up the last 2 gifts I'm making. So if you're ahead of schedule like me why not make a few gifts with your leftover yarn for those last minute gift-givers you're not prepared for.
I recently made this gift. Total time = Couple of hours. However, I did need 2 skeins. So hopefully you have a couple left over from another project. If not, mix it up. Use a couple of colors and see how you like the stripes.

Do you have a bag full of leftover yarn that's only 2-3 feet? What do you do with it? I can't convince myself to throw it out? Help keep your friends house warm this winter and create a draft stopper. Helps them and it helps you!
