I have for a long time wanted to try to make something out of the very chunky yarn that I have seen on blogs and websites.
I visited Silver Oak Farms booth and found this.
Unfortunately the picture doesn't give the wool credit it looks very brown here, but it is actually a very nice shade of grey.
My initial idea was to make a soft and durable rug, but even though I had about 90 yards, it would only make me a very little rug, so I decided on a basket for my ongoing knitting and crochet projects.
Started out while I was preparing dinner last night and finished less than 11/2 later.
It works up very quickly as you can see. I used a 20 mm crochet hook.
And here is the finished project after I steamed it last night.
Wish I had enough for a chunky afghan.
