See post 5921 and you will know where this one fell out of my mind.
Why not make a quickie clothes pin bag and crochet baskets instead??
Easter is coming and you always need baskets at Easter time.
They can be the simple ones, or even from rag strips or bread sacks cut into circles and then joined by slipping one circle onto the other one....LOL, if you don’t know what I am talking about, ask a kid, one finally showed me a few years ago and until then I had always sewn them or knotted them.
I use the slip join for joining nylon stockings/circles to make yarn for crocheting, baskets and rugs.
One of my favorite basket materials is the coated wires from the phone lines and insides of computers, it is fun to work with and can be lacy or tight, all one color or several colors and goes fast.
One of the best sources for the wire, is the dumpster, behind the telephone office, there you may find trunk lines 6 or 8 feet long.
Now they are more than likely used in the wiring harness for the electric systems of vehicles, so be nice to a mechanic and see if you can have an old one.
Copper wire is pretty too and mechanics also take it out of motors, the magneto, as I recall, or have I slipped back to Model A Ford thinking.
Guess spring is coming and that is a good time to find the basket supplies that God gave us to work with.
I love baskets, and have seen some gorgeous ones made out of plastic grocery bags. Never thought about wire. Hmmm.....
