I do not think that I like the floppiness of crochet baskets despite this being made with a 5mm hook and super bulky yarn. I'd rather have an actual basket, and this yarn is too thick for the texture to work for a bag I'd like to use (especially in one color).
Second project in about a week or so to go upside down in my stash busting process. The knit hat went fine and cut the stash of one particular yarn in half, but the single skein of fingering weight rayon just couldn't amount to anything I'd want, and the 1.5 balls of DMC natural XL is the same except this one twists up on me. I'm sleeping on it and then probably letting it go to someone who wants it.
Ok the bright side, the next projects are mini sweaters (to learn the ropes and use up yarn), a test knit (first knit amigurumi!), socks with patons kroy, and maybe some stripey stockings with the leftover yarn from the test knit! Then it's on to 3 sweaters and possibly a paint by numbers kit in between. :-)
