The Knitted Pot
I needed something to keep my roving in while I was spinning. I didn't want to use a basket because it would probably snag the roving. Then I thought "Why not knit a pot!" So here is the unfelted pot.
And here is the felted pot. Those are coyote teeth I bought at a PowWow.
The pattern is from Carol Bristol ( http://bristolknits.blogspot.com/ ). It's the Sedona Bowl from her Autumn Bowls pattern. I doubled the number of stitches and rows to make a larger pot. Since it is so large, it's not a sturdy as I would like, but when it's full of roving it is fine.
The yarn is Lion Brand Fishermans Wool I dyed in my crock pot some time ago with Kool Ade. If you missed that entry, you can read about it here - http://fitterknitter.livejournal.com/8097.html
I took 3 semesters of ceramics while an art student in college and never did throw a pot this nice. I've always been a fiber artist at heart.
