Half-used skeins and other ideas

In the middle of everything else I'm doing these days, I decided to cast on another dishcloth: Girl's Best Friend by Anne Frost at http://www.ThisIsSpiffy.com. Now, I know what you're thinking. I've done this dishcloth before. And to make matters worse, I'm doing it in exactly the same cotton yarn, Sugar'n Cream #28 Delft Blue, that I used before. As a matter of fact, it's being done in the same skein as before! This time, however, instead of using size 7 US (4.5mm) needles to knit the worsted weight cotton, I'm using size 5 US (3.75mm) needles so the pattern will show up better. I've just finished Row 18 of 53 rows so that makes me, um, approximately 37% of the way done.

Did I mention that Michael's was having a sale on Sugar'n Cream for $1.00/skein this week? Of course, I ran right in and picked up some. Just in case I run out of cotton yarn. Yeah, right. Like that's going to happen any time soon. Well, it could happen!
