I've been wanting to make a stark white item for awhile now, and I sat myself down in front of Intervention last night and made one. But alas, when it was finished, it didn't look snow white anymore. Maybe it was the light or the late hour, but to me it looked dingy. Having just made a bowl the night before that I didn't like, I was NOT about to be beaten two nights in a row!

Now, my mother doesn't crochet, but she can get her creative groove on with some dye or paint. Seriously, she can turn the ugliest colors into the most beautiful ones- just like magic. I don't have this skill, but I did have the dye that mom left in my laundry room. So, around about 11pm last night, I got a little crazy with the RIT. Buh bye, dingy white bowl- hello sweet little bluebell basket!! Not only did I figure out that I can change the colors of my crocheted items quickly and easily, I learned that they are very washer and dryer safe, too. Who knew I could have so much fun in the laundry room?! Thanks, Mom!
After making that curvy little aqua number the other week, I was anxious to experiment with my increases and decreases on a larger sized container.
This is a double strand mix of a beautiful twilight blue and an ecofriendly/recycled deep ecru cotton. The bowl is 8" across the bottom, 6" across the top, and stands 4" high. Being able to create sturdy, shapely curves with yarn alone is just pure crochet magic!
