A few weeks ago, my DH’s niece came over to dye yarn. Most of it went to live with her, but I kept the strawberry / lemonade to make baskets for Niece and Nephew. Baskets loaded with sugar and chocolate. After all, I will not be the one peeling the kids from the ceiling.

We are visiting for dinner this evening. This should make a nice surprise for the little ones. Their parents may think otherwise. ;)

I made up the pattern as I went along. When the skeins were laid out for dyeing, the lengths were arbitrary. This combination of colorway and basket diameter the stripes are quite thick. I am curious to see if Niece has knit with the other skeins and if the stripes are just as large.
