Circles and Squares

My old water bottle holder has definitely seen better days, so it was time for a new one! I started by working up a circle the size of the bottom of the bottle:

Then worked up from there in a square mesh pattern - dc, ch2 - alternating between two skeins of cotton since I didn't have quite enough of either to finish one of these. Finished off with a simple chain strap using both strands of yarn. Love how the colors came out! =)


Another quick, easy project that will surely get lots of use!

The plan for today? Spring cleaning! Well, sorting and tossing (donating). I know I need to trim some cargo weight before I move and nearly two years on the road has definitely taught me I don't need half the stuff I have here! And less other stuff means more of the stash can come. =) Still working out the details... and figuring out if I want to go newer (more expensive, more reliable) or older (more problems, unknown expenses). So many decisions...

  1. I'm really pleased with how much stuff we've pared down.

    It felt good. I think we're about to purge some more. :)
