Finished!

             Finally finished! The second picture is the inside of is which is my favorite part. I love how it swirls inward. I'm going to try to do that on the outside of the next one. 

            One big difference between this one and the first is the end of the string. As you can see in the picture above, I had planned to end the string in a more pleasant looking way. Last time was not planned out that well. I'm just really proud of myself for sticking to my plan and not messing up too bad. Now, ON TO THE THIRD!

            

In Progress: Second One

          

        I am surprised it is turning out this well, to say the least. The stitching is consistent and the shape is actually staying. I'm adding another inch or so, to the basket because of the requirement for the measurements to add up to eight. I'm planning to give it as gift or just keep it as a pencil holder. Something like that. Can't wait to finish it!!

Second one now!

        

  Starting my Second one. I am planning on making it like a bubble on a bubble. One ball on the other, until I hit six inches high. With this one, the stitching is more planned than my previous one. as you can see in the first picture the stitching is vertical and touching each other. I'm going to do this style on the whole thing.
