big, big basket

Finally!!!!!

This time I followed a new pattern for the basket and I love it!

 

The yarn fot the basket must be quite thick so that it has some firmness.

 

Back home...

Ok... Here I am again... at last!!!!

One of my New Year's Resolutions for 2013 is to spend more time with you. I missed it a lot although I haven't managed to save some time for it.

Anyway, despite my messy life I've been quite busy with crochet, so I have some tings to show...

For a start..

 Three nice baskets I crocheted for my sister's birthday!!!

 As you can see, I made three different sizes.

See you soon! xxx

More baskets

After my first experience with the white basket I made as a gift I kept on working...

I made another one in two colos, two shades of grey, and used it to keep the yarn:

But then I kind of improved the technique, always with the help from Attic 24. She has some patterns to crochet flowers and, although I don't think mines are as nice as hers at least they looked like flowers, so I decided to decorate my new green basket with them.

These are some pictures of the crochet flowers. They are not as nice as the ones in Attic24 (she's a master of crochet and I'm just starting...). But the truth is that her tutorials are so easy to follow, even if you don't know the different names of the stitches! 

So here's the result, in different color combinations:

A gift

Yes, I know... Some people sy white is not a colour... But I made this as a gift and as I don't know what it will be used for, I decided to crochet it in white (so simple, so clean, so pure...).

I can think of many uses for this basket... Work in progress...
