Wedding gift ideas?

[Captain Catnip]

My cousin is getting married Oct 7th and I was thinking of knitting something for him and his FI. I don't have the time to make a blanket plus H would be cranky since I'm only 1/3 through HIS blanket...so do you have any suggestions?

Do you know what their bedding looks like (did they register for any?)- pillow covers are quickish. Maybe stockings (if they do Christmas) or a table runner/placemats if they're fancy dinner people? A stack of lovely cotton washcloths (there are some really pretty designs and they truly are a luxury if you're used to terrycloth)?

I've never seen terrycloth yarn! I'll have to look for that. Do you have any suggestions?

They are both wearing boots, so I am making them socks in their wedding colors --- his sister thinks they'd really like that.

Terrycloth is just toweling- I mean, hand knitted cotton (try a fuzzy, chenille cotton) washcloth beats the plain old fabric washcloths most of us are used to.

The socks will be a cute gift!

I love my crocheted washcloths. I purchased mine from a friend in the past few years.

I like the idea of the socks too.

What about thread crocheted wedding bell ornaments? Bonus if in their wedding color, and if you sew in a 17 for the year.
