So! Bags.
I needed something to spice up my crafting life, and I'd been toying with the idea of making some crocheted grocery bags. (Reusable grocery bags are very in around the Seattle area these days.) It happened that I had some Cotton-Ease... in sweater form, but in the form of a sweater I wasn't happy with. I frogged the sweater, reclaimed the yarn, and made this:
Yarn used: Cotton-Ease by Lion Brand. Hook size: 5mm.
It was fun to break the crochet hook out again, but I can't say I love this pattern! Woolo, the sheep modeling it, doesn't mind it nearly so much. :)
The bag I'm more excited about is a granny square bag:
Yarn used: Sugar 'n' Cream Stripes by Lily (with a contrasting color to come). Hook size: 5mm.
It's working up so fast. I'll be done with it tomorrow at the latest, and I'll be able to make more of these easily. I'm quite pleased with how it looks so far, too. :) Meanwhile, ÜnterSchëpenFloppen thinks the yarn looks like Neapolitan ice cream. Mmm... Neapolitan. I haven't had any of that in far too long. Why doesn't Häagen-Dazs make a neapolitan? It'd be so good.
