bag lady

I love bags when I took knitting back up the first thing I made was as bag. As I learnt to crochet the sane thing happened

Here us a selection of the bags I have made over the year.

Each bag tell a story this was made after a cushion project  never got finished and didn't want to waste the  granny squares I made 

This was my first Lucy project  and I managed to do.the increases wrong but I still like it and I love the sqidgy chunky wool. This bag is responsible for my love of both wool warehouse and stylecraft.

 This was a basket to keep my wool.for travelling all.over floor 

There of course are others I never took.picture off and the bags I still long to do such as this one.

So my.question is if I love bags and let's be honest I have many either that I have made or bought why is the sofa always covered in wool.needles , hooks you name it . Maybe my love of bags stems from.the wish to be more organised but knowing I never will be

hippo ta dah !!

This task dah been a long time comming .the stuffing  finally arrived . So I could breath life into him. I  am really pleased. Heidi refers to this as happypotomus and I confess to smiling every time I look at him . He is my biggest project to date  and I think it's the one I am most proud off. 

 

I  do have request for the rhino and elephant so I think I will soon be making African flowers in my sleep lol

book review

This bag  caught my eye and I promptly bought the book  cute and easy  crochet  with flowers by nicki trench I was very excited when it arrived and  every project a winner . Although the yarn used  is her own brand and frankly out of my price range I have substituted for standard Arran or dk and am pleased with the results.  ironically  I have not yet started  the bag   but I have made a pin cushion a poppy purse and have almost completed the daisy scarf although i changed colour to make it more poppy like . This book is versatile and  got plenty  for novice and for my advanced .i could happily make every thing in this  book and probably will.

The  following link should take you to Amazon if you Interested . You can even take a look. Inside  the book .....
