So. We take a ball of robin's egg blue cotton yarn...
...add a strip from a discarded Old Navy cotton scarf...
...and voila! Some of the prettiest nesting bowls I have made to date.
This is such a special combination, isn't it?
~*~
Rag topping tip: take the time to find just the right material. I have found that what works best for these small stitches is tightly woven yet thin cotton. Look in the scarf section on your next trip to the thrift store! Think bandanna fabric. You have to cut the strips pretty thin (half inch or less), and the wrong material will just ravel or break for this job. Frustrating!!
Do you have a new project to share? I'm all ears!!

Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it! Such a lovely combo.
The only project I'm working on right now is a roofing job. I miss crafting though, and can't wait to make something.
Stunning combo!! Some of my favourite colours, and perfectly executed as always! :D
Oh, those are sweet!! I have been busy collecting odds and ends to make my tin "stuff" more exciting - I have plans for the fall, but it's so hard to wait!
Soooooooo beautiful this combo is...love it!
