The August/September issue of Crochet me is out, yay!
Three’s a charm! My jute basket pattern was originally concieved back in February during our brainstorming sessions for the TV show. But as things turned out, Marlo did one of her jute baskets instead. Later it was rejected by Debbie Stoller for the upcoming book, Stitch ‘N Bitch Crochet. But my baskets said they’re nevertheless feeling pretty darn good today, and are happy to be on Crochet me. I told them, “You’re famous, dahlings!” ;-)
Go here for the pattern.

Those baskets are beautiful! Thanks so much for all of the wonderful patterns. I finished two book thongs tonight despite the fact that I’d never worked with thread before!

Very very nice! Did it hurt your hand crocheting with the jute.

I made one last night. Very quick and easy, but I couldn’t find 2 ply twine, so I used 3 ply. My DH wants me to make more baskets for the plants.

Very nice! And the beads just set off the jute perfectly.

LOVE the baskets!!! Hmmm… another thing to add to my “to do” list. I love the way the plain jute really makes the pretty beads stand out. I love fancy beads, but never know what to do with them. I think I’ll have to buy some now!

I’ve started making one of these, and I’m a little confused. I was hoping you would help me out.
On rounds 7 through 10, the instructions say not to join, but they don’t say to turn, either. I’m afraid I don’t understand what I’m supposed to do if it’s neither of those.
TIA

The baskets are too cute! I’ll have to hit the local home store and get some jute and beads.
