Three sizes and four styles: wavy, dimpled, spotty, and welted. These scalloped edge pots will make you happy…

They perk up whatever you put (or hide) in them. Super easy and quick, keep them on-hand for gifts, to hold a store-bought plant or whatever. You can use those little clear plastic plant liners sold in the garden section of any store… The large takes a 7", medium 6" and the small a 5". In addition, the large one holds a sweater-sized knitting project and the smallest one perfectly cradles a wound ball of yarn to keep it off the floor.

I love the way Eco Wool felts (it's the best off white I have felted with, yet) and it's a good value. But it's a big investment… nearly 500 yards per skein. You can easily make 4 large pots with just two skeins… and think how many small pots you can make…

I want to credit the fabulous Leigh Radford (www.leighradford.com) for teaching me the shibori felting technique used in the dimpled pot.
