If you make purses or bags and would like to learn this pretty handy technique on how to embellish them "on-the-fly", come and join the ongoing tutorials at the Embellish crochet Academy! Totally free and very creative tips, tricks and ideas are shared there for anyone who loves to make bags. We are currently going through a technique I came up with called "faux cabling" with which you can pretty-up the simplest bag in no time at all. Let me share a couple of the pretty cables you will learn to make:

You're very welcome! I thank the Lord for constant inspiration. That came to me one day and results have been really pretty! There are other very useful tutorials, but these ropes make gorgous bags in a rather fast and easy way.
