Browsing through the op shops for crochet materials

Feeding my new addiction for rag crochet, I sorted through doona covers sheets and pillow cases to end up with these colour schemes. There has been a noticable price increase through out the op shops, so I have chosen sheets this time to feed my habit.
The colours above can be used in many combinations, it was fun matching them up

These ones are baby cot sheets and baby pillow cases to make for a project I shall reveal later.

I came across this cardigan too. I had to have it even though it was a little large for me.

The find of the day was this little beauty, a spider man bean bag for my spider man crazy grandson.

More Rag Crochet

Just a quick post to share my latest rag crochet. I'll more than likely add more as I am already onto another. It's a pretty little crochet rag basket and I actually used a pattern. The pattern is from Annie's Rag -Crochet Baskets.

Yarn Storage

Upon searching for some shelving in my garage, I came across these baskets that I used in the shop I once had, a brilliant thought came to me. Yarn storage! I'll be able to see every ball of yarn that I have and it will be neat, so I went for it.
I thought I already had some sort of organisation going until I applied the basket storage. I am very happy with the out come.
From this.
