I am overly pleased with myself this week, because I have not just one, but two FO's this week to share, and both are crochet. The first one I have been working on for about a month, so it was a bit over-due. Without further ado, my market bag:
It is big--there are 3 beach towels in the bag for the picture, and it has a nice shape. At first I thought it was "too big" but now I just love it. I can't wait to take it to the beach. Or a picnic. Or a farmers market. Anywhere. The pattern is free, and the yarn is Lily Sugar'n Cream cotton. I learned quite a bit with this project, and my crochet skills are steadily improving. So much so in fact, that I tried this:
A crochet wire and bead bracelet. It was a bit difficult to use wire, but super fun. It has given me loads of ideas to try in to future. You can't see the back but I just added a simple clasp, I think next time I might look into magnetic clasp, as it is a bit tricky to get on/off. I used a free pattern, and some jewellery wire I picked up in the local craft shop. Fun stuff!!
That's it for me this week. Happy Crafting!!
Nice beach bag. It will be so practical :)
ReplyDeleteThe market bag is great. I LOVE the bracelet. I am always drawn to the crochet bead jewelry.

ReplyDeleteAndria--The market bag is really great!! I love things like that which are super useful and which inspire admiring comments in line at the market!! :)
ReplyDeletepretty bag and bracelet! I've always been intrigued by wire crochet, so lovely
ReplyDeleteWhat a great market bag, I made one but it was too small! And I love that bracelet. I tried crocheting with wire and it snapped and for some reason I haven't tried again, really must give it another go!
ReplyDeleteYour crochet skills are coming along beautifully! The bag is a perfect size. The bracelet is gorgeous. I knitted a bracelet before but now I am going to have to try crocheting one.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, thanks for sharing.
