Thanks Rebecca.
I just looked at my yarn again, and realized that I don't have enough for an afghan. (It is stuff like rug yarn) so, may be some other cute little patterns? Thanks!

Scarves? Thick warm scarves for those cold Michigan winters? <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/cutewink.gif" />

if it's rug yarn... maybe something nonwearable... like baskets!! oooh, and then, you could put goodies in them for Christmas gifts..... like those jar gifts--- all the dry ingredients to sugar cookies in a jar along with cookie cutters and a cute kitchen towel.... hmmmm. you've got me thinking now:idea

Oops, missed the rug yarn part. How about tote bags? Or slippers?

I like rug yarn for hanger covers. I love hanger covers! :yay2 Here is my favorite pattern: (No Padding Needed) Hanger Cover (http://members.aol.com/crochetalong/npnhanger.html). It says use Lily Sugar 'n Cream Crafters Cotton, but I think rug yarn would work great.
