A Tisket, a Tasket....a lovely, lovely basket!
A few weeks ago, some knitterly friends came over for a day of yarny goodness, a hearty meal, and lots of laughter.
Accompanying two of them was the most thoughtful basket full of fabric, flowers, a monogrammed vase, wind chimes, and all sorts of wonderful goodies.
Upon seeing it, my immediate thought went to food. I asked myself, at the time: "Wouldn't this make the perfect bread basket?"
No, that did not make me or the basket happy.
My mind, still centered on food, asked: "Fruit, perhaps?" Everyone needs a fruit basket (eggs, you see, were out of the question because we have no chickens).
Afraid the fruit would soil the basket, I decided that was a poor use for the lovely basket.
So, lonely basket stood empty...
At least, for a short, short while, before yarn began jumping into it!
I am pleased to report both basket and assortment of yarns are very, very happy.
The End.

Makes a nice decoration for the 'yarn store',,,*S*
; )
I would take it out, label it with dedicated projects/patterns, and get to knitting.
WV: Achar - Jesu, you DO have it all insured, right?!
I guess, I better leave the Rav stash alone, it's the perfect inventory...
That's a beautiful basket! I'd love to come shopping at your yarn store. :) Do you have a sale bin?
I was digging through my stash recently. Came across my one skein of Lorna's Laces Lorikeet wool/silk (at least that's what I'm remembering it as. The label was gone.) I have balled the skein, swatched it several ways; even started a headband a few months ago (my own sorry design - I get these creative gusts that blow up sometimes but then die too soon. It was one of the first skeins I splurged on several years back - paid full price because I just loved it!! I still love it. I know one day it will turn into something...useful. Or at least pretty. Maybe some wristbands...or a little purse...it's a patient yarn. :)
