Recycling Fabric: Make a Fabric Basket

Make a Rag Fabric Basket / Bowl

Recycling is a good thing in my book! So, with leftover fabrics from the rag rug that I recently made, (tutorial here) I decided that I would make a small rag basket.  Little baskets like these are great for holding all kinds of small things.  This rag basket / bowl was crocheted using only two types of stitches..... a chain stitch and a single crochet stitch.  Simple and very easy to do.  I found several free patterns over on Ravelry.  For those of you who do not know, Ravelry is a free to join knit and crochet community and has thousands and thousands of patterns with many of which are absolutely free!  I hope you will give this simple little basket a try!

 

Enjoying the Journey - Handspinning Fiber Into Yarn

 

 

As the hustle of the daytime settles down and the calmness and peaceful quietness of the night settles in,

 

 

 

what a joy it is to pick up my spindle and spin my cares away. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I find comfort in the feel of the fiber as it passes through my hands. 

 

And I find contentment and joy in the making of a  handspun yarn.

 

Simplicity is satisfying.

Life is good.

 

Yes, .......very good.

 

I am enjoying the journey.
