One use for jars that I don't use often enough is drinking glasses. If I feel safe enough eating food that came from a jar, I should feel safe washing it out and drinking from it.
I recently broke my jelly jar water glass at work. It was thick, had a handle, and I had used it at work for almost two years. I dropped it just right to shatter it. Now I do have a match to that glass, but I use it often at home. So instead, I dug through my stash of jars and found a new one.
My tea mug has had a cozy for quite some time, so I decided my new jar should get one too. I chose to use a pattern I had made for xmas and changed it to go around rather than flat, making it look more interesting than single crochet.
That came out great! This is what you were working on at Creative Collision right?
ReplyDeleteI think it looks good. I know just a regular glass can sometimes be a bit bulky to hold, but the yarn might squash down a bit over time too. But it would probably be a good idea to have a back up in case you need to throw that one in the wash.
I tend to buy items for their containers as well (I have a ginormous jar of pickles in my fridge right now).
And I hoard them too...
Yup, that's what I was working on at Creative Collision.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking that it would probably squash down. My other one has, although it needs to be washed and I keep forgetting to bring it home.
I tend to go for the smaller jars, but I lust after the bulk jars - like pickles! My son would eat them all before I knew it. He's a pickle fiend.
