This was a joint project that Chris and I worked on together. I did the knitting and sewing, he cut out the cardboard and denim. The idea came from the book ‘Two Balls or less’ by Jenny Hill. We had a ball of Sirdar Bigga in Tudor Rose colourway, this is a seriously chunky yarn that requires 15mm needles. The denim came from a jacket we’ve had for years that doesn’t fit either of us, in fact it’s big enough to go round both of us! As I didn’t have quite enough yarn for 4 sides, I cut out the pocket from the jacket and used that for the fourth, which also serves as useful storage and gives it quite a funky look.
It is a 20cm square, which is actually larger than it sounds and very strong too. And when I say sewing, I mean specifically hand sewing, consequently my fingers are very sore, denim is very tough stuff!
What a creative box! The denim pocket is perfect.
