Rope Bowl

This was my first rope bowl.  I saw people making them on Instagram, so I had to make one too, but I did not know how.  When my quilt guild asked for ideas for upcoming meetings, I asked for the rope bowl.  
 It doesn't look great, but it is my first bowl, and I did have a broken finger.
 My husband wants a red one now.
 My cats liked helping me with this project.
 I saw someone make one without the fabric and it looked very nice.  My neighbor said you can color the ropes with sharpie markers.

Here is the article I wrote for my local paper, it was pretty neat seeing my name in print.
Have you made one of these bowls before?

  4. You can also dye the rope. I have the rope, and the dye, I just need to get started. Nice bowl. Hope the finger is getting better.

  6. Wait! What? It's your first bowl AND you have a broken finger PLUS a helpful cat? I'd say this was one gorgeous bowl even if your fingers were intact and the cat was asleep :)
