I used a straight-sided soft drink bottle, and after a couple of rounds, made a long handle in foundation chain. I put my yarn in it, and I can now crochet standing up on the train, because it hangs so neatly over my left shoulder.

The crocheted part closed with a drawstring. It could be flipped back over the plastic container, and a small hood would come out of the inside of the bottom to create a bassinet for my little Kittle dolls. I have looked for patterns for this for years, and cannot find one.<br />SueT.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15111610970894161793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543941664703892689.post-46135147296139161542014-01-21T13:19:06.439-08:002014-01-21T13:19:06.439-08:00So so love this simple idea.

The plastic was way thicker then, so I had to use our rounded knife sharpener and heat the end of it up over the gas stove and burn each hole through. Long process. My mom used my first one to hang on the bathroom door and she put her hair rollers in it. I guess that I have always looked at items with a "what can I do with this", eye.

I bought a rug and matching lid cover in the color I wanted. The lid cover has enough fabric to cover the top. Now I'd like to figure out a way to use that same crochet adaptation for the underside to hold it on and still be attractive and comfortable when you lean back. I guess I could punch holes around the edge and stitch it up like lacing up tennis shoes, but crocheting offers more, doesn't it?IDAnnienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543941664703892689.post-58562008428436342372013-04-25T21:22:21.614-07:002013-04-25T21:22:21.614-07:00I've been saving a variety of recycled contain...I've been saving a variety of recycled containers until I can do something colorful, and maybe tacky with them.
