butterscotch square serving basket

This is a square serving basket woven with butterscotch thread over butterscotch spokes. It is about 1 3/8″ wide and 3/8″ high. (30mm square and 7mm high)

This is another one of my favorites, possibly because there are no lopsided handles to mar the view. It is a bit deep for a tray, and puts me in the mind of a casserole basket. I think it will take a 1″ pie nicely, and I have some Fimo cookies that would line up nicely inside. I have a sweet little checked “napkin” for the basket, but I like the weave so well, it hasn’t made it in there yet. Obviously, I need 4 more of these, at least!

butterscotch oval tray

This oval handled tray is done in butterscotch “wicker” over walnut brown spokes. The tray is about 1 1/2″ long and 1 1/4″ wide, but the side handles add another 1/4″ to the length. It is a shallow basket, measuring about 3/8″ high. (44mm long with handles by 33mm wide, and 6 mm high)

This is a great little basket, easily one of my favorites. It’s great for serving food or as a shallow gathering basket. The side handles are tricky, but I think they really add to overall look.
