The pattern calls them bathroom storage vessels but I don't think I'll use them there, in fact I'm not entirely sure where I'll use them but they're fun anyways! I used the Cotlin doubled to give more body and they're certainly solid (though rather squishy despite that) but boy did it chew through the balls! I have no white left, and very little of any of the other colours either. Sheesh. The bowl is about 16cm wide and 9cm deep and the pot is 10cm by 14cm. I wish I'd done some more rows in the dark grey Wallaby to show it off better, it's my favourite of the whole lot. I have a ball of red left too, which would look great with the leftovers of the Wallaby, so maybe I'd better bite the bullet and do a dishcloth?
They look awesome! shame about the shipping :( I made a basket the other day too - they are quite fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the colours and they look like nice and sturdy. I'd worry about them getting damp/damaged in the bathroom - might look nice with little cacti or succulents in instead?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Lovely subtle greys, and subtlety in the shapes too! Great images from NZ and Canada,
ReplyDeleteThanks Stella! I really enjoyed making them for the same reasons :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, not exactly bathroom objects! To be honest I haven't found a use for them yet but they're looking decorative while I think something up!
ReplyDeleteI think baskets and pots are kind of addictive, there is something so satisfying about going around and around it building up.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the bowl!
