It's not as if I don't have enough things to make. My daughters are always thinking up new things for me to make! This idea is thanks to my younger daughter. I have lots of bags piled up waiting to be made into plarn. Sadly, most are just a few of each color. I have a few projects which have been waiting months for more specific colored bags.
So, why not make some smaller striped baskets to hold other WIP? That will use some of those bags and hopefully make my piles of waiting yarn neater.
I've had a shopping bag of target bags in progress for almost a year. I pulled it out and put a partially finished baby blanket in it. Success! 2 projects neater!
Now, I'm going to make a round basket. Start the same as a scrubbie.
Keep going, working increases evenly until the round is big enough. 1 foot is a nice sized bottom of a basket. Then, work even until it's tall enough. If I want the basket to flare open a little more at the top, work a few increases every few rows. I can, but don't have to, add handles. Either in the style of shopping bags or in the style of the toilet top basket.
Then, a round of a contrasting color for visual interest, and I'll have a pretty solution for lots of different colored bags AND those messy WIP
