I love your little chuckle!
So neat!!! Do u have any patterns for xl oversized yoga bag? 🙂
I ordered your book and can’t wait to receive it!
Thank You!!! As if I don't have enough projects ongoing, I ran to Hobby Lobby to get a few things I would need that I couldn't lay my hands on (yes, they're in the sewing room somewhere!) so I could get started tonight! Normally I use sewing machines to make what I do, but having something to take with me wherever is nice. I love, love, love these bags!!!!
Great video! Thank you! What a wonderful use for scrap yarn or mismatched clearance yarn!
I have a question on the “Chicago” rivets. You mentioned they might pull through. Could that problem be solved by using a second small piece of the handle material on the inside, and taking the rivet through both?
Great bags! But when watching the section of the handles I noticed you don't use a leather section on the back of the rivets, and that's why they pull out! When you sew on the straps, you sew whole stitches to the handle, and that's not what you do with the rivets, therefore they're not given much support to stay in and therefore quickly pull out. With a small section of leather on the inside, faux or otherwise, the rivets will stay attached and won't rip out.
I'm making the large one now and I'm on row 14 and loving it all ready! Thank you for sharing! Also, this basket brought me to your channel. 😊
what's your easiest pattern video? I'm determined to learn to crochet and your videos are so clear I have hope that at 70 I can finally figure it out. (My grandmother was born in 1900 and I inherited the all wool granny square blankets she made that look like they were crocheted yesterday.)
My bag bottom won't lay flat. I tried the big bag and the small bag, followed the directions to the T, and it still won't lay flat. HELP!
Awesome tutorial ❤❤❤❤. Thank you for sharing.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your Southwestern book! The best … you won’t regret buying it!
This is excellent I’ve got heaps of different yarns and will do this 😍😀❤️
Do you have any tips to stop your balls of yarn from knotting?
This will be my next project!
Love the basket, looks like something i could actually do. Also love your video very easy to follow as the instructions are clearly explained.
love your tutorial. I just made one for a friend's birthday and have tons of scrap yarn for others. it'll make great Christmas presents! A nice option for the handles is heavy duty webbing. I had some on hand so used it and it's easy to sew on with strong thread. thanks for sharing this!!!!
Hi, thanks for the tutorial, I like those baskets. May I ask you to edit your videos so that you don't repeat so much.
Thank for your clear instructions. The only thing I missed was what size hook are you using with the 7 stands?
I had a hard time doing the bottom, but what I did was. Took a hair pin and marked the double stitch. When I did that Nothing stop me I going with a big smile .
Hi thank you with in 8 hours. I’m 4 rolls up the side of the big basket . of course stopping at times I work at night.
Thank you for sharing your information – I have a lot of wool that I purchase to do stuff and didnt 🙂 This will be good to clear up some space!!
very pretty
I made my first one as a birthday gift for my pregnant daughter in law to use as a toy box for the car. She loves it. I do have one question, how do you keep the sides even? Mine kinda looks like an upside down bell. The sides or the diameter got smaller as I got to the top. I felt like I kept the tension the same but obviously not. How do you keep yours so perfectly straight?
My dogs barked at your dog when they heard it bark
Wonderful tutorial. I plan on doing some of these
Do you sell the printed pattern for just this bag on Ravelry? I get a headache thinking about adding another book or ebook I bought for just one pattern, so I mainly just buy digital patterns I can keep in my Rav pattern library.
I always use wool yarn as I use it for rughooking as well as wool fabric….Would I be able to use that? or should it be acrylic?
Just wondering, as a person who has not only had but seen so much crochet in my life and I mean old old crochet. Some a generation or 2 old. So why would you not use real leather? I was debating on using the real leather. It will hold up longer? Is it the cost or what?
Looks wonderful
I never heard of you till today, you are awesome! Thank you for being here. From Canada i will be making your baskets ❤
This is such a lovely basket. But wow does it give my arm a workout!
Can I use wool yarns? I have a lot of leftovers of mainly wool, both super wash and regular. Great project! ❤
If I wanted to make an even larger basket, would the progression be:
Round 17: 2 sc in next st, sc in next 10 st (repeat) for 96 st
Round 18: sc in each of the 96 st for 96 st
Round 19: 2 sc in next st, sc in next 11 st (repeat) for 104 st
Round 20: sc in each of the 104 st for a total of 104 st
Etc. . .
These totes are lovely. Can't wait to make one! Thanks loads for the pattern & tutorial.
Gorgeous. Thanks🎉
I live in the city south of Santa Fe 🙂 it's getting too hot to wear crochet items for a while. A basket sounds perfect 🕊
Hier kommen Grüße aus dem Norden Deutschlands! Vielen Dank für die tolle Anleitung. Eine schöne Idee für die Verwertung von Wollresten. 😊
Love your tip of the plastic bag for sizing your basket!
Great project. I want to make these. I just hope it's not too hard on my hands. That's a lot of yarn. Thanks for a great video.
That’s a great price for a basket, or a tote. I’m an artist myself and I paint with watercolors. I’m always looking for a tote to carry my paint, brushes , water bottle and paper in. Im going to give this a try. Thanks for the video! 🙌🏻
Such a beautiful bag. I’ve made 2 now and have trouble with twisting yarn. Ugh. But the result is so incredibly beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Your baskets look beautiful 😊
Oh my gosh I have to try this how beautiful.
I just finished making one of these and I am so pleased by how it turned out! I used one strand of a bulky 100% wool and two strands of a fingering-weight thin yarn held together and it is a nice sturdy basket with a few less strands than you used, but I am so pleased to be using up some of my stash yarns that I did not know what to do with! Thanks for posting
Your baskets are absolutely gorgeous! I think they're stunning & you sold them below market value based on what I saw when I was at shows all across the country prior to Covid. I'm not surprised they sold out. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents and inspiration ❤️ 🙏

Okay, I love this basket! I have my yarn and I am having a hard time keeping all strands of yarn on the hook. I have tried using 8,9, and 10mm. I have done 3 or 4 strands at a time with no problems. I would like to know how many mm do I need to use to get the stiffness for the basket?
I make pretty much the same thing but crochet the handles also using my scrap yarn and going with up to 12 strands at a time. I call them my forever bags. The one i have kept i crocheted over 20 years ago.
I used to teach young girls from 9-14 how to knit and crochet with me providing the yarn leaving me with many acrylic (cheaper) leftovers. On top of that people have been very happy to give me their mom's stash that they didnt want to throw away as many dont realize thrift stores will accept them. Sometimes i do them totally random, when one ball ends i just grab another random one. Sometimes i have combined randome with one color stripes or to create a heart on one side for instance. The straps are wide enough to enable you to carry alot of weight. One time i weighed out the library booksi i was carrying and it was 23 lbs but still easy on my shoulder.
Have also used it for refrigerated or frozen foods because it is like an insulated bag ensuring things are still cold when i get home.
If something leaks its ok because i can just was and dry on heat which tightens it up a little so it never gets stretched out of shape.
I never had a problem selling them for $75-$100 each depending on the style which would vary a little. It was always feel like an accomplishment to complete one for someone because it was personalized for each person, they were quick to make, cleared out my stash and since i have always done them in single crochet so they never required total focus.
Glad to see someone else doing the same thing.
When I’m working with more than 3 yarns at once I use a strainer to make sure everything doesn’t knot
