…compilation of tutorials
This sweater knitting basket is made from an old sweater.
If you don’t need a sweater knitting basket but have old sweaters to work with take a look here in the blog what else I have on the topic of recycling sweaters :)

I’ve presented tutorials for drinking straws and baskets before, here is an instruction for a combination of both: drinking straws baskets ;-)

A nice idea for the organized knitter / crocheter: a yarn basket with needle holder ;-)

I find the little basket very cute – and I think that people who can sew should be able to get on with the instruction.
I suppose that I wouldn’t wangle it, not even if the instruction was written in German in capital letters ;-))
But that’s only because I don’t have any sewing routine ;-)
I have here already a lot of tutorials and inspirations for items from plastic bottles and from recycled paper, but I think that this is the first combining both ;-)
Anyway, I found an inspiration where they make baskets from recycled paper and plastic stripes.
They are made similarly to the basket coiling but with different materials.
I find some of these baskets most beautiful!
If that’s not your cup of tea check here whether you find other baskets that you like ;-)

Doesn’t the basket look great? Actually the entry is about blocking after finishing, but tapestry crochet isn’t so hard and so I definitely wanted to present the basket :))

After having presented clothesline crochet and clothesline knitting I have now ‘clothesline sewing’ ;-)
The point here is to take a cord and at the same time cover it with fabric and coil a basket from the whole thing just as with the ‘real’ basket coiling.
I find the little baskets absolutely cute, but I have a sewing machine so old that it doesn’t even have a zig zag stitch and I won’t do this by hand! ;-)

Now that spring has come comes the time, too when to embellish the garden. Why not making garden hose baskets garden hose baskets then?
I don’t have a garden and they are too large for a balcony which can only contain two plain chairs or a canvas chair ;-)
Anyhow, I find them interesting.
