Granny squares crochet bag
..... at least that is what it is going to be.
I started on this a long time ago but got sidetracked with the snowflakes. I am taking a breather from the snowflakes for now.
While wondering what to do, I dig up my UFOs and came across the squares. Some square were already joined up as my intention was to make a bag. But this time round I decided to make it smaller. So, I unpicked the ones already joined and rearranged the squares and joined them up all over again.
The bag appear standing because I placed a thick dictionary in it for the picture.
This is how it looks flattened.
It is still not finished. I am crochetting a few more rows at the top for a heading. Then there is the handle/strap/sling or whatever that I have to make ... as soon as I can figure out how to do it. I might also consider putting in a hard plastic or cardboard for the base to keep the boxed shape of the bag.
After this, I'll have to start on the Pay it Forward gifts .....

I finished the bag today. Here is a picture of it hanging from the front door latch ... for want of a better place, :-) Nobody was around to hold it up for the shoot..

It's lovely and the colours just right. The bag looks really sturdy.
ReplyDeleteYour bag is lovely! I haven't made granny squares in years, but maybe I should. Then, I could have a bag like yours and use up some of my stash!
ReplyDeleteVery nice...I really love the color combo.
ReplyDeleteVery nice bag Jon. I like it and you probably needed a break from the snowflakes!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful congratulations Faizon
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you. I crochet or sew when I need a break from tatting. I have some more left over squares from the same project and am making another bag, this time a little bit smaller than this one. Pictures when done.
