My latest functional knitting piece. I used Ace Hardwares cotton string (it is more like rope than string). My mum asked me to create a holder for her pot, in order to hang this spider plant. Using two double-pointed needles, carefully placed yarn-overs and a little measuring here and there, I was able to create this plant knitting two strands at a time (for stability). Next time, I would measure gauge a little better for a tighter fit. I attached the excess yarn together, made some strategically placed knots and voila! In one evening, I had a simple potted plant basket (Shiva is looking at the screen and approving of my craftsmanship). She enjoys yarns of all varieties, but only attempts to chew on wool. Clever cat. Luckily, I don't leave any out for her to attempt to digest. (Yarn can be deadly to cats when ingested).
