My friend Mrs. Tittlemouse, whose name comes from a Beatrix Potter character, is quite a crafty gal. She wrote about making crochet bowls on her blog here.
Being one to follow the leader, I was spurred on to copy her in trying to make similar ones. Mrs. T's are prettier, but mine came out OK, too. Using these instructions for a crochet bowl, I made two different sized bowls. This is a smaller one:
And this is a larger crochet bowl:
I sorta cheated on the second bowl, making it larger and without a pattern, but it worked out just fine. It is now holding yarn. See?
Mrs. T. uses beautiful pale pinks and lavenders and and pale greens and cherry reds, her favorite colors I think, for her crochet and sewing projects. Her pictures made me happy. Please take a look here at the bowls she made.
I am going to use the larger crochet bowl as a roll basket on the table at Easter because the colors whisper spring to me.
