I think scrappy baskets are perfect for muddling through! I really don’t know how to do a lot of things in crochet so tend to pick projects that it won’t matter if my stitches are a bit loose, the joins are wonky, etc. I love your baskets! They are cheerful, and I am in awe that you decided to use up the stash you didn’t love and just went for it!
I want to thank you, @lynx, and so many others who have this “marathon” stash busting mindset! I am almost done with all of my bulky acrylic yarns as well…and yes, they are all baskets!
