{made} — Catchall Crochet Tray.
Wildfiber yarn shop had a crochet doily swap May 2012 and I wanted to do something a little out of the ordinary for it.
I was inspired by this basket/tray, but wanted it to be much fancier. So, I designed my own version of the pattern and used a homemade starch to stiffen the tray; directions can be found online here.
My first crocheted summer bag…I braided remnants of the lining fabric with suede cord for the strap (the fabric got a little fringy in the process, but I’ve decided I actually like how that looks…almost like I planned it!) It may be a little rough here and there, but that’s the charm of handmade, right? ;)
