Mini Nesting Baskets

So those balls of thick strips of jersey yarn that I have been crocheting with have a name, it's called Zpagetti, but you knew that already, didn't you?  I'm always the last to know these things.  I haven't been able to find anywhere else that stocks the product here in New Zealand; if anyone has seen other colours somewhere on these fair shores please let me know as I am desperate to avoid having to cut up some t-shirts to make my second crochet mat.

Since I had a little bit of the black and white striped yarn left over, I worked up some crochet nesting baskets.


They measure 14x10cm, 10x9cm and 9x8cm.

There are a million ways to use mini storage baskets.  Here are four of them:






I bet you've always wanted to highlight your half-dead herbs too.  Well, now you can!  I'd like to send these baskets to a new home so if you'd like them, please leave me a comment telling me how you would use them.

Giveaway is open to New Zealand followers only of my blog this time.  Shot, bro.

      What's funnier is that no-one is interested in my giveaway :). Thanks for keeping an eye out for the yarn. It took about 15 minutes to cut and roll up some jersey yarn fabric that I bought, so it wasn't as onerous to make my own as I thought it would be.

    I have tried to leave a comment a few times but it comes up with an error... so maybe that is why there are no comments? I thought your beautiful baskets would be great for baby socks and headbands... but your ideas are awesome! Alicia :)

      Oooh, yes, I like that idea, the bigger one would be great for wee socks. Thank you so much for letting me know there may be a technical issue somewhere, I can't see anything in my settings that gives me any cause for concern, but I am going to temporarily remove the word verification and see if that helps. Thanks again for letting me know you had trouble, that's appreciated.

      That's because you're too busy hosting AMAZEBALLS giveaways of your own :). Whoever wins your one is going to be totally thrilled!
