Dash Basket: A New Crochet Pattern
Reader
I have a new pattern for you today. Ever since I made the Winthrop Basket, I get lots of comments about it being too hard to make. I have been wanting to make another option that uses the same yarn, and size, but easier stitches.
The Dash Basket is the end result of my brain storming. It is a mostly single crochet project with just a little bit of texture that is easy to accomplish. I'm using Lion Brand Rewind yarn for this basket, just like with the Winthrop Basket. I love using this tape yarn for baskets. It makes the baskets indestructible, and easy to clean. I have them all over my house. I have one in the bathroom that keeps all the hair accessories together. I have a few in my yarn cupboard to keep projects together. I will use them as gift bags and of course they make great Easter Baskets!
Where to get this pattern
This pattern will be in my Ravelry Store. As always, if you would like to purchase through another option like Etsy, or love crafts just let me know and I can get a listing up for you.
Some of you might be saying "Hey, I thought a knitting pattern would be next." I hear you. I have just had a lot of bad ideas lately when it comes to knitting. I thought they were great in my head, but when I made the sample, they just didn't work. And I want to make sure I am only putting designs out that are worth making. I promise there is new stuff coming.

Reader I have a new pattern to share with you today. Say Hello to Whorl Around Cowl. I wanted an accessory that showed whimsy and movement. In the winter when its cold and unmotivating, I wanted a reminder that wonder still exists. I took inspiration from Poinsettias, and looking inside a kaleidoscope. I didn't want it to be obvious, but fluid to interpretation. It was hard to get a picture of the full pattern and movement of this cowl, so please excuse this very unworthy of instagram picture...
Reader I have a new Pattern for you today. cottage garden cowl worn by me One of my favorite things about now owning a home after renting for so long is creating a garden around the house. I wanted to make a cowl to celebrate that. Even though its getting cold and I have had to put my garden to sleep for winter, I have a cowl to brighten my day with the colors of my garden. A close up of the cowl and the last of my flowers before the snow hit this week Some of you who have been around for a...
Reader I hope you all have had a great summer. I had a busy and fulfilling summer. The best part is getting to be with my girls. We spent a lot of time with family, and friends. I've really enjoyed having a garden this year. I think my favorite part of summer was that I got to go to church camp with my oldest. It was a week of MAD (music, arts, and drama) camp. I was in charge of the arts part of camp. I can't tell you how fun it was to be creative and teaching again. I of course even taught...
