I am overwhelmed with suggestions, Mudcat Advisor, but I still have a gnawing doubt -- one of my husband's "folk friends" came downstairs and said that it was the first time he had ever seen knitted toilet paper, but it was certainly soft, and I ran upstairs and saw that the toilet paper cosy cover with the tastefully embroidered sheet music from "Brown's Ferry Blues" on it was missing. Am I wasting my aesthetic talents on these people, or should I continue?
