However, gorgeous weather has beckoned us outdoors for multiple hiking trips and gardening afternoons. And of course we've slowly been getting ready for the Peanut's imminent arrival in just a few short months! (Secretly, I think we're simply trying to cram a bunch of last minute things into our life before we get to meet the bundle of energy currently bouncing around inside of me.)
Last night, during a rare moment of sitting still, I finished my knit basket.
The pattern is from a British magazine, Simply Knitting September 2013, and came as an extra insert -- the needles shown were also part of the package. I mentioned before that I'm a sucker for magazines... don't even get me started on the ones that offer free gifts inside the plastic wrap!
Late last week, I promised you some methods on dealing with your own magazine mayday and mayhem. I haven't forgotten! It's coming soon... probably as soon as we get a rainy day around here. In the meantime, knit yourself an even bigger basket than this and stash those extra magazines in there.
I love your knit basket! What's the pattern? I've been searching for a knit one that I like. Most are crochet and I'm not very good at it :(
ReplyDeleteThank you! The pattern is from an insert that came with Simply Knitting Sept 2013 (the link is in the blog post). It's knit with bulky yarn held double and you make two pieces -- the bottom circle and then a rectangle that you seam onto the bottom of the basket.
