I thought I'd post the crocheted bag I finished yesterday. I used Patons Classic Wool Merino in Leaf Green and New Denim. Two days after felting it was finally dry and I could attach the handles. The handles were made with a corking/knitting spool as opposed to knitting an I-cord. I have yet to master knitting so this was a good alternative. Silly me though, I had intended to have the stripes towards the bottom of the bag but inadvertently sewed up the wrong end! Of course I only discovered this after felting it. Oh well, it's not so bad and it's my first official bag so it was really just a practice run.

Overall I'm pleased and it'll make a nice little purse for autumn, or a grab-and-go project bag.

Well, off I go to work on my "In Bloom" purse!
