Bought myself an antique knitting basket from Craigslist to tame my growing collection of leftover wool. It has beautiful turned dowels at the top but the cover was in a terrible state, so out with the old and in with the new. I had bought a remnant of heavy brocade for $1 at a yard sale just last weekend and it is perfect. I chose to have the tapestry side on the outside and the embroidered silk on the inside. I know my sewing isn't perfect but I am very happy with the end result. Total cost $21. If anyone needs the instructions for revamping their basket cover or indeed for making a complete knitting basket they can be found HERE
