I can't just sit and watch baseball, at least not unless it's my own kids playing, so I had to bring something with me. I had a bag started in a different color, but knew I wouldn't have enough to finish, so I brought another ball with me. I of course had to go buy another ball to finish.</div><div><br></div><div>I did add a few rounds to the base, like they recommend, and then I widened my handles, but otherwise I followed the instructions. I'm not a super fast crocheter, but this was more than just an evening project. </div><div><br></div><div>My daughter thought it was pretty cool and even the DH said it was a nice holey bag (his words).<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-I-jpdzpztXY/UczlwN3X8eI/AAAAAAAAABw/B69DC3APIt4/s640/blogger-image-1198154504.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-I-jpdzpztXY/UczlwN3X8eI/AAAAAAAAABw/B69DC3APIt4/s640/blogger-image-1198154504.jpg"></a></div></div><div>I've already got a new BIG ball to start a new one!!</div><div><br></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5
