I can’t wait to try this. Watched it enough to see if I could follow it (yes!) and now going to save it in my “watch later” folder when I can actually make a basket! What a perfect alternative to a box for gifting someone a hand made object. ❤
I would like to Thankyou for making such relaxing podcasts. Im mainly a knitter and sewer but also love to crochet sometimes. I taught myself to spin as my daughter acquired 3 Alpacas and now a few sheep. This went on to purchase myself a Rigid heddle loom. It never ends the craft path. So you can see why I love to see what you make. I have just finished a bowl by your method and it's so much firmer I'm going to go through my stash to make more. I have only recently discovered you and look forward to going over your previous postings. A big Thankyou again.
I just came across your channel a few days ago and have been enjoying watching your videos from the beginning. After seeing your crocheted basket in one of your earliest episodes, I watched and crocheted along with your tutorial. I spun a whole dark grey-brown Romney fleece a number of years ago and plied it into a sturdy 4-ply yarn. That yarn has been stored away all this time but is now being used to crochet baskets! Thank you for the inspiration. 🐑♥️
I’m a knitter that wants to learn how to crochet and I’ve always loved the look of these bowls and you did such a fabulous job on this tutorial that I think I could do this! Thank you so much! I was watching Knitting Traditions podcast and she mentioned your tutorial and I’m so glad she did.
So happy to find your channel, you have renewed and inspired me to get back to my spinning and knitting. Your video's are lovely, peaceful, relaxing and just what I needed in these crazy times we find ourselves. I'm going to make one of your baskets with my hand spun. Looking forward to your next video !
Thank you Nancy... it is such a pleasure to hear that I have inspired you to start making again. Maybe you can tag me in instagram (if you have an account) so I can see the basket when you make it. :)
These will make lovely gifts! ❤ 🧶 Ty very much for doing this tutorial…..your voice is easy to listen to and clear instructions. Would love to see more in the future 🇨🇦
I'm glad you liked it... I hope that it was easily understandable and that you make lots of lovely baskets. I just finished another two today for a friend's birthday ❤️
Thank you for this very complete and informative video. I am going to make some and use up some of the yarn I have had in my stash and use the baskets for gifts this Christmas. Who doesn’t love a basket! I loved the music you chose as well. Very calming. You choose great music all the time.
Thank you! Great turorial that I really enjoyed! Will definitely make a basket now. Recently discovered your RUclips channel through recommendations from a Swedish vlog, Ciasbod. You bring me joy, beauty and calm in a world that is really strange. Thank you!
What an incredible gift you have given us with this tutorial - thank you Ivana! I have some super bulky yarn in cream and brown that was spun in Lesotho and gifted to me by my sister many years ago but which was a little too harsh for a worn garment. It will be perfect for these baskets!
Wonderful... those rougher yarns is exactly what I use for the baskets. Please tag me on instagram if you make one, so I can see. I'm so glad you liked the tutorial. Thank you. Ivana :)
Loved the video . I had made some baskets recently but differently . I loved the texture of the way you do yours so will make one that way . I didn't crochet into the v stitch and I like the closer weave you get . Also when turning for the sides I crocheted into the post of the stitch which did give a nice defined base but nice if you were looking at the base . :) .... I love the sharing of ideas and it is good to improve and learn new things
Dear Kerrie, Your baskets sound great as well.... I did find that crocheting into the V stitch does make the fabric thicker and more stable though. I guess there is lots of ways to make them... this is just how I do it and since a few people asked about it, I thought it's good to record the process. I hope it is easy to follow since I find it hard to actually teach someone. Thank you for sharing your process as well. Regards, Ivana
@@therepublicofme It was very clear thank you Ivana . I am trying not to have too many WIP as I find I have a butterfly mind and nothing gets achieved ........ not a good characteristic :) HoweverI have wool I know I will try your basket as soon as I tick something off that list . Wishing you a wonderful and productive Tuesday
I love the look of your baskets…specially the brown multi-toned one with handles! So, so rustic looking. Can I ask aside from you using a chunky yarn, is chunky meaning worsted #4??? What other kind of yarn can I use to make it look more “Rustic” ??? And how many grams would your brown basket use up? Thanks so much for sharing your craft😀 Please video more rustic pieces in crochet!
the thicker the yarn, the sturdier the basket will be. For a rustic and affordable look in wool, I can suggest holding 2 strands of Lion Brand Fisherman's wool. ❤
I must be thick. I could not get the results with your beginning instructions. I guess I don’t understand crochet enough. I loved your podcast. I am making a basket, just the same.
Dear Danielle, Where did you get stuck? Maybe I can send you some links for the videos that explain the stitches you are having problem with. Let me know... and NO you are NOT thick. I'm glad you like the podcast :) Ivana
the republic of me I had 18 stitches instead of 16. I ripped back many times. I do not think I am joining correctly because I have a large space between the chain 3 and half double.
@@danielleboots7032 If in the first round you have 8 stitches, for the next round you should crochet in each of those stitches twice. The first one will be chain 3 and half double in the same stitch. Continue like that for the rest of the round and just stop when. you have 16. The link below will show you close up of where to crochet, although she uses different stitch and more of them. You can start her video from 3mins. This link is just so you can see where to insert the hook, but otherwise follow my numbers and do half double, rather than what she is showing. ruclips.net/video/QFHexyNR1dY/видео.html I hope this helps.
Here is a link where the lady actually works with my count as well as half doubles. The only difference is that she chains 2 and I chain 3 in the beginning. ruclips.net/video/dUBPsHXJBtc/видео.html
How many yards or pounds of handspun do you use for a large nesting basket. I have roughly 4 or 5 pounds of Corridale I need to spin up. This is a great idea. Thanks for this tutorial.
Dear Dalene, My large basket is a bit less than a pound, so you are good. But have in mind that I used woolen spun and woolen spun is lighter. Hope this helps. Ivana
I Found Kin in a Thrift Store Photograph by Aaron Coleman Above my bed a black boy leans his chin down on the dark wood of a small bridge, his arms loose over the edge, far above the rushing water. His fingers let the wind’s anonymous grace spill through him. The night is cinders: flecks of bluish white and human red trapped inside the sky. His face so swept up in shadow his expression is full of the unknowable. A black boy’s body is a language sculpted out of silence. Outside of time, inside the picture this anonymous child has come to be my family. Somehow his legs sway with the framed waves at the same pace loneliness slips beneath the surface of intuition, floods the current called desire. On the far side I will never see his spine is my creation myth, a bone river of redemption, a choice to live, despite unkeepable love. This religion of slow loss balanced on the balls of his feet.

Sounds perfect Emma... I also keep the project I'm working on or yarn in it. :)

Hi Ivana, I’ve just discovered your vlog. Would love to know where you got the leather handle from as that adds a really nice touch? Many thanks 🙏
Those are not really handles, it is just leather scraps that I bought a while ago and I trimmed them to use as handles. ❤️

@@therepublicofme Thank you. That gives me some ideas for this project.
Do you think that these baskets could be sturdy enough for shopping if they have straps that go around the bottom?
I'm not sure, but I think they might be... although for that use, I would probably make them out of cotton rather than wool. :)
sent a poem to you I thought you might like - just a hunch...
Thank you Jackie, I've read it and it's lovely :)

his chin down on the dark wood
of a small bridge, his arms
loose over the edge, far above

It's beautiful Jackie... thank you :)
