Always a First

I wanted to start a blog to document projects from Pinterest that I actually complete.  So here is my first post with my most recent project.

I got the inspiration from here http://www.craftaholicsanonymous.net/how-to-crochet-a-bag-market-tote
I started this bag on Tuesday at the Brewer's game!!  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.

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.  

My daughter thought it was pretty cool and even the DH said it was a nice holey bag (his words).
I've already got a new BIG ball to start a new one!!

  2. Oh Kathy you would not believe how easy it is to learn - takes time to be comfortable with it but it is very relaxing - pretty much can crochet while watching tv :-)

    Michele - this is a fantastic idea - keep blogging and posting to FB :-)
