A new knitting basket

I hate to throw things away and after taking apart the waistcoat which I fell out with I had the two balls of variegated 4 ply yarn to ‘deal with’. 

The balls of plain purple and green are becoming a scarf which you can see here.

So as I needed another means of containing the yarn while I’m using it I crocheted a ‘basket’. I’ve used the two balls of yarn together to give it some ‘body’ and it seems to have worked.

  1. Love what you've done with that yarn. I've been thinking I should try one of those yarn baskets as I like the appearance.

  2. Thanks both. GoldenMom - I like them as they ‘adapt’ to the amount of yarn you’re using and can easily be washed if needed. I’m glad I’ve found ways to re-purpose the yarn too!!!!

  5. I find that if a project just isn’t working I can’t bear to look at the materials again, so I admire your self discipline! The basket will be so useful.c
