knitting basket

I don't seem to be able to stop pinning all kinds of fabric baskets. I just love them and have made many in the past. I made myself a basket for the wool and my current knit I need at hand near the couch. I made one using this tutorial I found on pinterest. And it's reversible too! You can fold it, or don't. I am usually baffled by all the sorts or filling for baskets and bags. Usually I can't find the American brands in Holland and I have to guess what weight to use. But this filling can be bought at quiltboutique.nl I found out, if you want to make one too. I used a canvas for the outside fabric and used the iron on filling only for the lining. I think this is stiff enough.

My crafty big boy

He was very annoyed that the little (pink!) hat I knitted for my to be born niece wasn't for him..... In his world everything I make should be for him. But I love that he still loves my homemade things, it will not last through puberty I am afraid. So I picked up my needles and let him pick colors and design. He made a pompon for the top in his color scheme already and now asks, about every night if I have finished it yet! Well it's not, but I'll show you my progress....

baby love, my baby love

My baby sister is having a second baby girl soon. If you believe it maybe I can. Weren't we 16 two weeks ago? Since soon will probably be march I had to pick up the crafting pace!

I love knitting, but I can handle only small and simple projects, baby gifts are perfect for getting out my needles and unnecessarily bog wool stash.



You can find the description here in multiple sizes and variations even. They are just two nights of knitting in front of your favorite tv program.

I also made some progress on the quilt I have been preparing. Just a sneak peak!

See you soon!
