Thank you for all the lovely comments about Odoh's Story and the Fantasy blanket, I'm so glad you enjoyed the story and liked the blanket.
I have also been overwhelmed and touched by all the lovely comments and emails I have received about my string tote tutorial, thank you so much! it's lovely to hear all your comments and the reasons why you want to make these bags.
Here are some more that I have made for birthday gifts.
Made for Susan
Embellished with Astri's granny Rose and made for AnneMarie.
Embellished with a granny rose and made for Dianne.
Remember these bags are great stash busters!
Stats
Cream bag 42 grams, patons 4ply cotton
Pink Bag 55 grams. 2 strands of 4ply cone cotton
Green bag 56 grams. DK cotton/acrylic blend
All weights include flowers.
It's interesting to note that the cream bag takes the least yarn, is the smallest looking bag, in fact you hardly know it's in your handbag but when opened it stretches more than the others and therefore holds more.
I thought it only right to round up some of the lovely bags you have been making and display them here.
I think that they are all fantastic! every time I find one I will add it here and link it to the tutorial to show all the lovely colours and variations so please let me know if I have missed yours.
A Crochet Along
As you all must know by now I love a crochet a long and I have just spied yet another I really want to do. I'm not really sure that my finished result will look anything like it's supposed to but I'm going to give it a try anyway. I'm talking about the Nesting Dolls CAL with Kara at Petals and Picots
Arn't they cute!
A Giveaway
Amanda at Crafty in the Med wants to celebrate her 2nd blogaversary by having a mystery giveaway, so if you haven't done so already there is still time to join in as it's open until August the 24th!
