Wine & Money by Elizabeth Warner

Wine

Dress up any wine bottle to create the perfect one-size-fits all gift this holiday season.  Use up any of those lovely lone skeins in your stash to make a quick gift.  The sample shown is knit in Jaeger Silk, which has been discontinued, but any dk weight yarn should give you great results.

Money

A tiny little holder dresses up the easiest gift of all – a gift card.  Although the cables make it look complex, this is an easy, quick knit.  Half an ounce of any DK weight wool will do.
