A lovely lady purchased a set of custom rag topped bowls from sosorosey as a gift for an artist friend. She wanted cobalt blue bases and white "ragging".

The "cobalt" gave me a problem. I did an online search for cobalt cotton yarn that returned nothing. I gave the choice of a cotton blend or a change in color- to maybe a periwinkle color. Then, I went to Hancock Fabrics (not a yarn store, as you can tell by the name) and found this gorgeous "morning glory" blue. Yay!

I always love to create a custom project with a color combination that I've never done or thought of. This set turned out very clean looking, I think. And crisp. Like it would work well in a beach house overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Oh, I love to create lives for my projects, too :)
I've had the bases of these three made for quite some time, but I've had a heck of a time finding just the right fabric to tie the colors together. I set the bowls aside for at least a month.
On Monday I found the soft old cotton kerchief in photo one, remembered my bowl bases, and brought the nest set back to life. 
While I'm always thinking of new items to make for sosorosey, the rag-top nested bowls are one of my earliest *signature* creations. I'm glad to have some new ones back in the shop :)
