variegated yarn stash busting

When I was first learning how to crochet, I bought myself quite a bit of variegated yarns. Why? I don't know, I don't even really like them all that much. I'm trying to use it all up now, so I did a couple stash busting projects.

First I made these bottle holders, it was a really fast and easy project. I can't remember where I found the pattern anymore though. I made three of them, two are going to my sister in law since she has two kids on the bottle still. And one is for me, we don't take bottles out with us anymore but it works for Zach's sippy cups too, it's nice to not have a damp purse.





And then because I decided to make a basket, I'm using it to hold my yarn while I work. I found the pattern here, I didn't make handles for mine though.



I still have quite a bit of the green/white yarn that I cannot wait to use up. I'm thinking I'll probably just make some washcloths for the kids, but if you know of something better, please share!
