Crochet lovely squares

I saw these lovely squares and I was curious how they are made. I tried the most simple ones first but then I did complicated ones. I didn't work these from patterns but I followed this lady on you tube. If you use nice colours they will look great. I need to make few more then I will join them into a blanket. I love the colours I used, I tried to use all the bits of yarn I have. I can never finish them lol. First I did the blue and since I didn't find it too hard I did the second one. I love the third, the colours and the pattern are amazing. The fourth is complicated more it looks nice but I won't do it again. I like the fifth I will do that again. Won't do the first one either too blue lol. I think you agree with me the third looks great. I will do another one like it. There is another square I want to try but I think it is bigger then these squares. I added the lady that makes these squares give it a go.

Handmade rope baskets

I tried rope baskets before this is my forth basket. I made this for my eldest daughter. She picked the colours. It is made of nylon materials so it is washable when dirty. it takes awhile to made and you need to use strength pulling the strings every stitch. As I was making it I learnt a way how so I kept all the way that way. I made another one and it looks neater using the last technic that I learnt.The black and white it very stiff cause it is worked hard and tight, the other white one is slightly softer. You need a hook as well to make these baskets. There is a lady that has two videos on how to make these on you tube.  Here are the two baskets.  The photo came a bit wonky but the finished product is good.
