Oden the champion! and other crochet news.

12 May

Oden won a prize in the instructables.com critter contest.  Thanks to everyone who voted for him.  I can’t wait to get my free yarn and my pro membership to instructables!  So exciting!

In other news, I am currently working on a gigantic market bag.  This is only the bottom and a tiny bit of the sides.  I don’t think the picture does it justice.  It’s really quite big.

This baby is going to hold ALLLL the groceries!

I haven’t decided whether to felt it or not.  I don’t have much experience with felting.  Well, at least not intentional felting; I’ve definitely shrunk my share of woolen items.   This bag might be a good candidate for experimenting, since it’s so huge that, even if I overdid it, it wouldn’t stop the bag from being useful.

Also, I had a stroke of brilliance and repurposed this wine box as a yarn holder.  It’s so perfect, as the little flap for the spout opens up enough to get a skein in there and then closes up enough to keep it secure and tangle free.  I can’t wait to empty more boxes of wine so that all my skeins have homes ;)

In goes the yarn...

...NO MORE TANGLES!!

    oooo I like how you store your yarn!

    I wonder if I could use old cereal boxes? Imagine them lined up on my shelf…different boxes for different colours…mmmm…I like that!
