Sturdy Garden Basket
I designed the Sturdy Garden basket using the
Hobby Lobby Scrub-ology Scrub it yarn.
It is a perfect basket for gathering veggies and fruit,
as well as, for rinsing off veggies
and fruit after picking because this
yarn is made to get wet and stay sturdy.
And It drys quickly.
The Basket will hold it's shape and stay sturdy.
The Scrub-ology yarns are quite bright,
so it makes a lovely colorful basket, too.
It even looks pretty sitting on the table filled
with veggies, fruit, dinner rolls or a pretty
flower arrangement.
I have a plastic strainer I use when washing the
smaller veggies like beans and cherry tomatoes,
as well as, the small fruits likes strawberries and blackberries.The strainer fits right in side
the basket. It works great for for picking and washing.
I take the strainer out when I am done.
