I bought this skein of Temptation to finish my “Fiat Luxe” neck warmer, and what did I do with my leftover half skein? I acted like a true celebrity brat and CROCHETED a COASTER out of it! Ha! That is how little respect I have for this yarn. I would do better to just crochet my next coaster out of 20-dollar bills!

I think a few of these coasters plus your recipe would make some terrific teachers' gifts!
Ha ha! You know, I think you are right! Hurrah for teachers!
You mean the Temptation made of silk? Oh. I thought you might be making fun of some posh shop selling crocheted coasters for $40... :-D
Yes, you are a spoiled brat! My sister bought some red alpaca to knit tomte hats (we are in Sweden) for teddybears... But, hey, stash is "free" :-D What else would you do with it? Better to crochet coasters than let it be unused for years because one doesn't know what to do with it...
