	~ What medium? I mean I just made a fancy pencil/tool pouch thing that I could potentially slap together a pattern for but it's sewn and stuff. And making stuff like quilted placemats/potholders/whatever is the epitome of easy. However if you're looking for knit then I can't help at all. ~

	Since you mention scarves, I'm going to assume that you either crochet or knit. Your local library should have at least a few knitting and/or crochet books. I've found some great gift ideas in library books before. What about potholders and hot pads? There are plenty of cute ones floating around on the net. Gloves and mittens are usually welcome gifts in the cold weather. There are some really cute lip balm holders Stuffies are always nice for little kids and some grownups. My computer is acting up or I'd look up some links for you. Remember, Google is your friend. smile Try Craftster or Crochetville for a lot of amigurami (yes, I know I spelled that wrong), and other cute little things. Crochet Me and Knitty have some neat items too.

	besides scarves? bags, hats, gloves, bracelets, necklaces... that's off the top of my head. i like doing bags because they're quick to do up (whether sewing or knitting) and have a variety of uses. tote bags go over well with people who use their own grocery store bags and college kids with lots of books to carry. smaller purses are good for women. simple small drawstring bags are good for guys (dice bags, pencil bag, you get the idea).
