Round 2: Ch 2. 2 dc in each stitch around, join with a slst. (24 dc)
Round 3: Ch 2. *1 dc in next st, 2dc in next. Repeat from * around, join with a slst. (36 dc)

    Thank you for the pattern and the amazingly detailed tutorial. Yours are sooo easy to follow. Your flower brooch was the first crochet item I ever made that wasn't square! I will totally make these baskets...just not sure what for yet.

    On another note, you've blogged a lot about making and preserving edibles from your backyard...I have a tree that is producing mini plums like crazy - any ideas or recipes you'd suggest?

    Thanks!!

    Thanks, I love this. Could you tell me the dimensions for it though? I don't want to make it and then end up too big/small for what i need to use it for.

    Thank you for this pattern. I make stuff for the women in my family for Christmas gifts and this looks like the perfect thing. I'm also going to make the coffee cup cozies.

    Thank you for this pattern! As a beginner I was getting very disheartened with crochet and this pattern has kept me going! So pleased to discover the "adjustable loop" - it is a brilliant thing!

    Thank you for the nice tutorial-especially the magic ring part. I just made this basket and placed it on the coffee table. Of course the husband and kids thought it hilarious that it doubled for a hat- mine wasn't so mini but perfect for what I wanted it for.

    I love these baskets! I must go watch some YouTube videos and learn how to both crochet and knit. I have five daughters that I would like to teach as well; I believe this is a valuable skill. Thanks!
    PS- do you have a video teaching the basics? I have no idea how to do this and am lost even with the directions.

Crocheted Produce Bag

Well, I thought since the produce bag was something I just made up real quick I should post the pattern. I am sure there are way better ones out there, but most of them end up decreasing at the end to get a smaller opening, but I wanted mine large so leafy stuff that I buy in multiple little bunches could poke out, like baby broccoli or bok choy. So here is the pattern, just in case you want to make a couple as well. Materials: 1 skein Lion Brand Organic Cotton Yarn (#680), or similar worsted weight yarn Size I-9 Crochet Hook Little scrap of fabric (optional) Rnd 1: Begin with an adjustable loop , and crochet 12 double crochet (dc) into the loop and pull tight. Rnd 2: *Chain 7, skip 1 dc and slip stitch in next dc.* Repeat around. It should look like a little flower: Rnd 3: Chain 7, Slip stitch (slst) into 4th chain (ch) of round 2. You will ch 7 and attach it to the center of every little petal of the flower you created in round 2. At the end of the round ch 3 and slst into the 4th

I Love Lamp!

First of all, this is my 100th post which is some sort of milestone, so yay! And secondly, I've got another tutorial for a parasol light fixture to share! Today Michael and I were working on getting some light fixtures put up, which has been on my to-do list for a rediculously long time now. Endless gratitude for Michael making me get my butt in gear! So he helped me hang this nifty lotus flower-shaped lamp from Ikea over my sewing table. (I've always wanted one!) I finally have enough light to see what I'm doing, so maybe I'll actually start making things again! So anywho, on to the tutroial... Remember my idea for turning a parasol into a light fixture? Well with Michael's help I finally did it! We had a lot of technical issues to work out, so hopefully if anyone out there wants to make one this tutorial should save you a lot of time. As far as materials, you only need a hacksaw, a parasol, and some wire. Start by cutting the handle off of the paraso
