My mum bought me a basket from the local farmer's market as a present. The idea being I can keep all my current knitting bits in so they don't end up everywhere. It's a lovely basket but I thought it needed a bit of decoration. I've not done any crochet for quite some time. I used Attic 24's May Roses  pattern and did a htr circle for the liner. Not sure whether to add any more, so I'm leaving it for the moment. Bo likes it.

Mr. and I spent a day at The Basket Case recently and had a great time. We made a willow basket each from scratch. This is the only photo I managed while we were making the baskets 8 hours and many scratches and broken nails later; we had a willow basket each. Mr.'s Mine Mr. very kindly made his so that it stacked with mine (just a happy coincidence)- makes storing them at home a lot easier. The woman who taught us was a very good teacher and it was a nice relaxing day. They grow their own willow for weaving and we got to see it growing too.
