New Yarn Storage

So I bought these storage things from Walmart a while ago with no ideas about what to use them for. They were about $3.50 each and I bought 6 of them so we're talking about $21 here. They kind of lock together so there isn't a worry about them sliding off of one another.

Anyway, I was cleaning my living room and these crates were just sitting there with no purpose and then it came to me! I had seen many yarn storage shelves that seemed so permanent and I love the way they look, but I need something that I can move for now. We're not done building my craft room/office yet. So here it is!

I think it looks pretty nice. Plus, I can see all the colors that I have. It case you can't see, I have 5 skeins of grey heather. I'm not sure why I kept buying it, but at least by viewing everything this way, I know that I don't need to buy that color for a while.

Crocheted Basket

Hey guys! I just finished a project that I really want to share with you! It's a basket. And I made it myself...out of yarn! You may be thinking, "If it's made out of yarn, how is it sturdy?" I thought the same thing. But then I watched the tutorial and it said to use 2 pieces of yarn at one time. The yarn is doubled! This really does make it a lot sturdier than if you only used one. I can tell my basket isn't going to fall apart anytime soon.

I got the tutorial from youtube. The woman's channel is called bobwilson123. I've seen a couple of her tutorials and they are very clear and easy to understand. You can find part 1 for this basket here and part 2 here.

Here are some pictures of my process. I hope you enjoy! and let me know how you did!
