You could make a brooch with them or add to a shawl.

I've made a couple of bits of jewellery for a woman in my team who leaves this week. First bits of jewellery I've made in over a year.

I like those. As one of those who needs to be a bit careful about the kind of metal that touches my skin I wonder, is it possible to buy gold fittings? (Not that I'm imagining making anything you understand ;-) )

I might just go with applique onto a cushion cover - been wanting to make a cable knit cover for ages but not got round to it, may well be my next project :-)

I've finally got round to watching the new craft programme on Ch4. I'm not sure if I like it or not. It seems to be more a craft speed-date than actually teaching you anything. And the presenters are a bit too gushing, overly excitable and mockney, Jamie Olivers of craft. I know, makes me sound old. Almost makes me miss Kristie
