I spend a lot of time sitting at my children’s practices, activities and appointments. I know I’m not the only one. I have to do something while I’m waiting or with 3 kids and all their appointments, I’d be loosing too much of my life just waiting. I usually take a crochet project to do while I’m waiting.
This is one of my new favorite crochet patterns. You can find it {here}. The Candy Corn Basket was my adaptation of the original pattern. Today I thought I’d share another adaptation of the basket pattern.
For this basket, I actually followed the pattern, but I stopped before the top cuff is added. I wanted an even simpler more rustic look for this basket.
I think of this one as my apple basket because the green looks so lovely with the red apples.
But this handy basket can be used for many organizing jobs. Look how pretty it looks in the bath.
This is a great pattern because it’s easy to carry with you and there are hundreds of uses and adaptations to this organizing basket. Just wait, you’ll be seeing more of my adaptations to this pattern soon.

I’m so excited to share this fun diy project just in time for National Free Comic Book Day on May 3rd! It’s easy enough to make with your younger kiddos and cool enough for your older ones. With the newest Captain America movie out, this is the perfect time to whip up your own…
If you’re like me and my friend, J., at some point you’ve stood holding an empty candle jar in your hand wondering what you could do with it instead of throwing it away. My friend J. and I had been talking about ways to recycle those candle jars when coincidentally my son asked if we could make a…
We’re big comic book fans in the Organized 31 family, but Captain America is my favorite. Is it because I was a captain (although, not a supersoldier) at one time? Is it because he has America in his name? Or is it because of Chris Evans? (just joking… or am I?) Whatever the reason, it only took me…
If you’ve hung around here with me for any time, you know that I spend much too much time sitting at practices, games and various kid activities just waiting. With 3 kids, I learned a long time ago that I had to have projects to keep me busy while waiting and waiting and waiting at…
Easter is such a happy holiday. First and foremost for me is that Easter celebrates the foundation of my faith, But in addition, it’s the start of warmer, sunnier weather and it involves bright happy colors and cute little animals.

Love the basket and I really do think the apples pop in the green basket. I also think that the crocheted basket is good for apples because there are no rough edges for the apples to touch and become bruised. It is always nice to have a project to carry around with you.

Hi Susan, I’ve been meaning to make a crocheted basket for the last few months but keep putting it on the back burner for other projects. Your basket turned out great. I definitely need to make one now. 🙂
