I love this basket. It is made from 2 strands of super bulky weight yarn held together. This makes it very sturdy. It keeps its form and stands up well. I love using these baskets. If you're like me, you have more than one project going on at one time. I have yarn, buttons, hooks, etc lying around everywhere. This basket is not huge, but it's big enough for your hooks and balls of yarn or small projects. I like to keep one on the bookcase near the bed for night time crocheting.
I'm also including some of my favorite must haves. When I crochet I always keep a retractable tape measure close by. Checking gauge is so important, and I use one constantly. You'll also get some colorful buttons (see them in the top photo). I use them for eyes on my animal hats. I'm also throwing in some colorful pins for blocking or sewing. This is truly a goodie basket.
These are all the things that I love to use, and I thought it would be a great idea for a giveaway. The pattern is so easy...I'll write it out soon. I made this basket in two hours.
Just leave me a comment and I'll randomly choose a winner in about a week...next Sunday to be exact:D
Have a great weekend!
That's a beautiful basket :) I'd like to take part in your give away, just love it!!!!!

This is a lovely gift! I use a brown bag to keep my yarn in. I usually work a few at a time . This would be perfect to move it around the house. I have been looking for a basket this size. Would like to see the pattern on this. And the buttons are so lovely for some crochet flowers I have. Good luck to all!
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice basket. I would love to win it:) Thanks for the awesome giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea! When I saw this, my first thought was that I should make a bunch of these and use them to organize my closet!
ReplyDeleteI am a beader. What a great way to keep my projects separated and ready to go at a moments notice!! Plus, an easy way to sort by color, style, shape..........and look cool on a shelf or on the go!!

ReplyDeleteI'll turn 40 in a few hours....Does that help to win this lovely basket? ;-)
ReplyDeleteHahaha...Congrats!
DeleteI was just blessed by Pinterest! You are talented. I just started crocheting again to try and help battle depression. Crocheting, embroidery, and knitting can be so calming. I am amazed at the tutorials! I am going to make my little Princess the owl hat. This bag is awesome. If I dont win I am surely going to make one.....or ten.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about crocheting to lift your spirits and to help with the blues. I hope you find something here that you would like to make for yourself.
DeleteThanks,
Liz

I love this basket. It makes me want to run make one. Except I don't have the yarn. Thanks for the chance to win one.
ReplyDeleteLove your basket and the color, also your way of doing of doing a line to separate the bottom and sides is great. Will definitely be making one when I find some yarn.
ReplyDeleteBev

ReplyDeleteI would also like to share your site with my fellow crocheters on my page if you don't mind? You have some wonderful designs.
Good luck to who ever may win!

Just came across your blog from Pinterest! Love it. I will be making this basket. I also love your owl hat. I have a few patterns, but I will give yours a try. I love the way it looks...so much better than the ones I already have! Please enter me in your giveaway! I'm also going to check out the swap on Ravelry! I'm on Ravelry, but don't spend enough time there!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the wonderful basket pattern, I've just found your blog it's great and I know I'm going to be busy!
ReplyDeleteI'd love the chance to win this super basket, thank you so much.

Thank you so much for this pattern! I am planning on making this so I'll have one even if I don't win!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool, and such a great idea I'm like you said I have yarn everywhere this will be so cool to make to keep my projects together, but then again I'd need several :)
ReplyDeleteLove the basket!! I'm going to try making one myself but would love to win one also :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to make one of these! I love the idea of doing in hemp too, then maybe wrap the handles in leather or canvas.
ReplyDeleteSO cute. i love it!! what a fun giveaway. :)
ReplyDeleteOh I love this little basket, I know my cat would lie in there and hide away from me and the world. I like the stiff look because then it means it is strong and carry heavy things in it.
ReplyDeleteI've been making pink and orange cell phone covers ever since my niece loved her orange and pink heart one I made for her new phone. Angy scratched her Tracfone LG800G smart preapaid phone the other day and I thought let me rather crochet a cute pouch for it, even though the phone cost $50. My boyfriend now wants me to crochet a little jacket for his nook tablet as he crushed the screen of the last nook while packing it in his overly full suitcase before a trip. I can't believe how expensive the ipad, nook and cell phone covers are in the shops and all I pay is the price of a ball of wool. Crochet is such an amazing, satisfying and rewarding craft.
I never thought about using two strands held together. I've been playing around to make my own without a pattern and it's a little floppy. I'll have to try that. Thanks! Cool giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteLove this basket I'm disabled and I'm always looking for something like this to occupy my time.
ReplyDeleteI just love this idea and would love to have the pattern for my nieces' baby showers. I can think of so many uses in a nursery. Thanks!
