Crochet Union Jack pillow wip

I'm trying to get myself back into crochet
by posting my wips.
I'm calling this my Union Jack pillow.

crochet pillow in progress


I really like this basket that I found at the thrift store.
It holds up to 6 different balls of yarn.
For this project there is just 3 colours so
I can tuck my hook, the instructions and
my project into the remaining spot.

I love that everything I need for
a project is kept nicely together.
I'm curious what other people use to hold their work.

Almost finished my chanson en crochet

This lovely shawl is called Chanson en crochet.
The free pattern info and errata can be found
here.
 I decided to block it before finishing it
so that I could gauge if it needed to be lengthened.
This yarn (Patons SWS in Natural Berry) is beautiful
 but it is a nightmare to rip out.

The colour is off in the photo...it is, in person
a lovely deep ruby red.
