You can't make anything with one skein of yarn!

How often have I heard knitters telling me that my yarn is useless to them as I spin only one or two of a kind usually? Well, I like a challenge, so I'm trying to make a selection of samples with my hand spun to prove them wrong!

Over the last few days I've been knitting with a dk skein in pinks and coffees. I decided to do a Ravelry search to find a baby jacket. I settled on Mignon by Loop of London The pattern is easy to follow, a pleasure to knit and very simple, but effective.

My next challenge is to find another pattern for my one skein challenge. What would you make with one 100g skein? Any suggestions on what you'd like me to make or design?
