1. Ocean 2. Royal 3. Rainbow. But they are all beautiful!!! You are so generous to share your pattern from your book in the tutorial. I just started it yesterday to learn to crochet. I’m an avid knitter for years and years and never cared to learn crochet but you inspired me! Thank you!! My fingers are crossed!
You make this look so easy and it’s not 😂 Finally I got the point right but would like a substitute yarn - a little less fuzzy so there is more stitch definition. Any suggestions?
@@waxalchemy I started on July 4th and finished on July 16th, so about 13 days. I worked on some other projects and took a trip to Boulder during that time too.
I loved them all! I just finished making a larger basket using your instructions and made a laundry basket! A market basket in any of these colors ... will be fun. If I win choose for me I’ll be tickled! What ever I make I plan to gift to encourage a lady to learn! Thanks!
I'm not a crochet person but you are very incredibly convincing. I'm going to try some of your patterns and look for your book in my local library since we have a knitting group that gathers every Friday morning. Thank you
Had seen your vid on the artisan basket a month or so ago and was inspireing. Your voice and cheeriness helps to get me finding what yarns have. This vid popped up this week. Like the setting there ! This week am figuring what to do with old holey clothing with beautiful fabric (some are ltwt Indian cottons) and how to transform or reuse fabrics. Not sure need more yarn, but a package would be a neat surprise. Do like Royal, then Ocean, then treehugger. Did wonder if could dye the whites/light yarns as experimenting with natural dyes (is so warm here, using solar methods). Stay well !
I love all the combinations and just purchased your book to make a basket myself after watching your video’s. You’ve given me inspiration for colour choices! I really like Ocean and Autumn. Thank you so much for your generosity of knowledge, time and spirit.
Hallo liebe Susan 🙂 Ich habe deinen Kanal in der letzten Woche entdeckt und bin sehr begeistert ! So tolle Designs! Und vielen Dank für die Mühe die du dir mit den Anleitungen gemacht hast. Ich habe schon 2 Körbe nachgearbeitet und sie sind wirklich wunderschön geworden. Meine Favoriten sind das Set gür den Autumn basket und den Ocean basket. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland 🌸 Jutta
Wow, all the colors are so beautiful. It’s hard to make a choice! The Royal, and the earthy are my favorites. I loved the video where you made the basket, it inspired me to get started on one of my own!
@@joniburke8005 During testing, that was the size where most people had a little yarn left over after making the rectangle. I wanted to make sure no one would run out of yarn before finishing the corner. It did happen to one person though.
My favorites are Royal and Unicorn 🦄! This is the first of your videos I’ve seen so I’m heading to your page to see what I can make. I’ve just started crocheting 6 months ago after learning when I was younger. What a great selection of yarns! 🤞🏻
Been stitching for over 60 years. One of the best tutorials I have ever seen. Seven strands may be a bit of a challenge with these old hands but will get it done. Will definitely be making some of these for around the home. BTW - born and raised Colorado. Camped many times in the Bayfield/Durango/Pagosa area. Miss my mountains.
I recently ordered your book specifically for the market basket pattern, but have felt a little intimidated about choosing the yarns. Your gift would make that soooo much easier! My favorites are 1. Earthy and 2. Autumn. You are so generous!
Oh my goodness I couldn't just pick one.. thank you so much for your beautiful giveaway.. I would like to pick #1 Royal #2 ocean #3 autumn. #4 rainbow #5 unicorn.
Sante Fe Ocean... I have used your tutorial on combining the ends of your yarn seamlessly... it works so well I passed it on to my granddaughter who loves to crochet as well!!! Your basket tutorial is ingenious!
1. Ocean 2. Unicorn Thank you for giving people the opportunity to win prizes! I have seen many of your projects I would like to try to make. I am just a beginner and have so much to learn.
I adore your book! I bought both the paperback and Kindle versions! I would love any yarn kit but my #1 favorite would be Autumn and #2 would be Sunshine! Thanks!
What a gift and variety of colors! Would love#1 unicorn for my two granddaughters, perhaps for their library books! And #2 Ocean for bathroom towels. 💝Thank you for sharing your stash!
They're all beautiful colors. Thank you for this giveaway. It is very generous of you. Ocean, royal, tree hugger. I'm working on your wedge pattern right now and loving it. I'm using a Caron Latte Cake lovely layers in the color Blackberry. Beautiful shades of mauve, purple, and lavender. Thank you, Susan, for all that you do. I really appreciate all the time you put into making your videos. Kelly From Montreal.
