here, finally, is my finished big felted rainbow basket! it's still not completely dry, but it does appear that the sides are definitely not going to stand up as i had originally intended (because of the huge size) - which, of course, is a bit of a disappointment. i also decreased too much on the last few rows, which caused the sides to be slightly puckered and the top edge to pull in more than i anticipated. but even with its flaws, i'm still happy with the whole process as well as the final product. especially the vibrant rainbow colors! and i'm sure i'll find some way to put it to good use...
i'm thinking that maybe i can straighten/stiffen up the sides with some kind of starch or something? have anyone ever done something like this? or have any good suggestions? i'd appreciate any ideas or guidance you have to offer. :-)
