the bag that almost never was

After I finished hat I wondered what next . I looked through a few blogs I like to read and a bag caught my eye.. it was made up of solid granny squares. Then I had a brain wave I had loads in my work bag  so I did count up I needed 26  I had twenty.



Now they were meant to be cushion but like many I made a number of squares and lost will to live . They been in bag ever since.so I made up the missing six squares  and set to work. constructing  the bag was a pain it joined with what my friend calls waffle stitch  . But once you got hang of it it some enough . Then I added a treble border  to top of bag and some string handles and it was done

 As you can see handles to flimsy so add three rows of dc

 Looks much better doesn't it

This is bag from.the other side . I really like it and it certainly better  than a pile of UN loved granny squares in bag
