A row of flowers on a crocheted bowl

In today’s post; A few thrifted materials to recycle, crochet, play with – and to hunt down and kill of course…

If you have a ball of fabric rolled up somewhere…

…you can crochet up a soft little bowl.

I thrifted a couple of balls of torn fabric (mattrasor) and made a soft bowl. The flowers comes from a thrifted curtain ring (gardingomtag) and are hand sewn onto the finished bowl. Isn’t it very pretty? I’m very happy with it. Perfect to store pens or crochet needles in.

Is it tasty?

You can hunt it and play with it…

Yes, I think so! (copyright Hanna Andersson)

…then settle down and gnaw on it. Yummy stuff to eat or crochet with.

  1. Hanna! Look at your precious sweetie!
    I like your bowl. I think it would be perfect for keeping polymer clay beads in. Or doll heads. Or silk flowers for assemblages.

  2. Cute pictures – I love crocheting baskets and bowls. My Grandma also used to make rugs out of fabric. Enjoy your day!

  3. I really like your cute container and ball. Cute photos of Smilla too!

  4. Wow, that bowl is really amazing ~ very professional looking! Was it hard to crochet with such thick material?

    I always thought that cats’ relationships with yarn was just a cliche.. until my kitty, Lili, decided to have some fun. The yarn is now hidden in the basement because otherwise we’d be completely trapped in a feline web by now. Teehee! :)

  5. What an adorable bowl and a charming kitty! Her fur is so lustrous and wonderfully orange
