Bead Crochet Basket with Twine!

[CDBear]

This is a basket I made for a good friend.......he works with most of the ladies I made the purses for, but I didn't think he needed a purse....:eek He uses it as a candy dish on his desk at work!

Great idea for a candy bowl. You did a great job.

Very nice Christi.

I made those at Christmas last year. Did you have trouble with the twine smelling like diesel fuel? All the twine I found stunk!

[CDBear]

No, Sheila, I didn't have that trouble at all......I found myself crocheting tighter and tighter, just to make it look right, tho. Kinda wore my arms and shoulders out!
