I recently downloaded the LoveKnitting app to see what all the fuss was about. Actually it's a really nice app which allows you to keep track of your knitting or crochet in a really well thought out way. You can tell someone who knits and/or crochets was on the design team. (the only problem being it forgets everything if you force close the app!)
Every week they give away a free pattern. The Crochet Basket caught my eye and I decided I wanted to have a go. The beauty of this pattern is that you can make it any colour your want and as tall as you want, and it's a really easy pattern to follow.
The other good bit was I could do the odd row here or there as I had time. Repetition can be boring, but it can also be soothing.
I gave it to my Mum for Christmas and she seemed really chuffed. She loves purple so that was always going to be a win, but she could see straight away how useful it might be too. She might not have lots of wool to fill it with, but I am sure she will find other things.
