Yarn Basket

Last Thursday I took a Cake Basket class... I had made baskets before, but in a different way, not really weaving... so this time, I weaved a basket.
It took me 3.5 hours, the class was great and very easy going... it was named Cake Basket, because it's supose to hold a 9x13 inches cake pan or pyrex...
I put a round of thin orange to give some color to it....

...and then the handles, so this is how it ended up... I think is very nice, and I liked it very much... MG certanly was happy and impressed that I made it :o)
Then, on Saturday we went to a party in a neighbour town, so I asked to have a visit to the Yarn store there, so we went! and bought 4 blueish-greenish balls of an italian yarn!!!... (100% Acrylic I think, but is surprisingly soft)

Sooooooooooooo.....

The Cake Basket..... is.... a.... Y-a-r-n  B-a-s-k-e-t!!!! Yipi!!!
What do you think?? I think the picture doesn't show the real colors of my new yarn... but we are still having grey skys and that doesn't help to the lightning on the picture... I'm not sure what I'll do with them yet...
But I'm happy that I made the basket so I can have my yarn there... it look so nice! I love it... and I can take it anywhere...
The big ball shown in the picture, is a Red Heart Super Saver that I bought for the Mary Jane Sliipers I was telling you about the other day...
I've finished one... I will post pictures soon... and hope to finish the second one in no time...

See you soon!
