Knitting Basket Limoges Box with Colorful Yarn
A basket heaped with balls of colorful yarn sits ready for the next project, every strand and weave rendered in porcelain. This is a hand-painted Limoges box made in Limoges, France, a miniature of the knitter's favorite companion.
Cast On, Cast Off
Anyone who knits or crochets knows the joy of a full basket of yarn and the promise of a new sweater or scarf. Here the colorful yarn balls are piled into the basket, all of it painted by hand on porcelain. It is a decorative porcelain piece, so the real skeins stay in the craft room.
Patterns for the Shelf
It belongs in a sewing room, on a craft table, or beside a favorite reading chair where the knitting bag usually rests. Pair it with sewing machine, thimble and button pieces for a crafting display. It is a thoughtful thank-you for the friend who knit the baby blanket, or a birthday surprise for the guild member who always has a project on her needles.
