It's in the bag!

I was catching up with life over in the Attic24 household, as you do; and was thrilled to see that Lucy has started to crochet a beautiful stripey bag! Now as you know I love bags, especially the home made variety so I thought I would send over a little encouragement to Lucy, not that she needs any, just take a look at her lovely crochet blankets!

I thought you might like to see a couple of my crotchet bags. A little crochet stimulation if you like! They're not as colourful as yours Luce, or as stripey, but texturally a little different.

This one is made from old plastic carrier bags and has a lovely round shape when opened up.

Here is one made from garden twine with some fine mohairy wool added in to make subtle stripes.

This one was made from two old Lycra tops cut into strips and then knotted together, with all the knots left on the outside of the bag. I stretched the fabric as I crocheted, which made the end result quite firm.

Another made from fabric, this time a silky shimmer fabric, cut into one continuous long strip. With all the raw edges left, it has a lovely Boho shabby chic texture.

And finally, this one IS made out of wool, but then I felted it in the washing machine! This makes it look like a moulded piece of fabric, very strong and sturdy.

Well Lucy, I hope you enjoyed my little crochet bag tour. So, even if you one day run out of yarn (highly unlikely I know! lol ) you'll always be able to find something to crochet with!
