Bag Along

[shelbyro]

I got it Bettina, I'm so sorry I haven't added it yet. I have been soooooooooooo busy at work, and then school, and, well, you know.

 

I will get it on today. :fc

[Pomegranate]

Thanks Michelle! I see it on the gallery page now! :-D

 

I totally understand about being busy. I'm swamped this time of year. I just thought I'd sent a damaged file or something.

 

:-D Bettina

My Oh, My....

 

I need to stop before I go crazy - but I'm going to join this, too - that is, if you'll have me. <img border=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/fin.gif" /> I've recently made two bags - one from Lion Chenille and another with the fulling process....but the urge has struck again.

 

I'd like to do the "Jaunty Shells" from the American School of Needlework "Trendsetting Totes".

 

I've chosen RH yarn - Farmland and Ranch Red (mc)....should be pretty for fall...

Hello,

 

I'm a new bagger too.

 

I just started the Country Market Felted bag from

Marlo's Crochet Corner, The bottom is complete, and I'm working on the sides. The Lion Brand Lanscapes is nice. Hope it felts well.

 

Cordially,

 

Vera

I'm trying to get active again both on crochetville & my blog, so can I join too? I just love bags. I'm addicted to them, even if I wasn't the one that made it. Last month I got 3 bags at an auction, two were crocheted & one was macramed . I'm trying to design a bag based on one of the purses I got at the auction, but bigger.

I'm thinking about designing my own purse too.

And I say the bag is beautiful too! I love it, and I already tried to find some Landscapes once this weekend after seeing it on your blog. Great job!! <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/clap.gif" />

[vhanna26]

Julie, thanks for moving my post to the correct place.

 

I did get the pattern from Marlo's site. It is the Country Market Felted Bag.

 

It was easy to crochet, and I pulled an all nighter to crochet and felt it, but it was worth it, and I plan to make another one soon. I have three sisters, and I think that'll make great Christmas presents.

[Julie]

It will, Vera, perfect Christmas gifts. And it is just the color I want, I think. <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/veryhappy.gif" />

[Donna]

I adore your bag, Vera! You did beautiful work and the colors are perfect. :)h

[RebeccaVelasquez]

this is done in tunisian basic stitch with the handles knitted with the assistance of a knitty knobby !

it's done with LB chunky usa in pink, and pink eyelash with hotpink fun fur held together around the edge

 

 

psst- there are only 2 handles, it's leaning against a mirror:oops

[shelbyro]

Very cute! I love the sparkly fur around the top. Is it for a gift?

[RebeccaVelasquez]

yes, it was a gift... my son's afternoon sitter. kinda a weird story, my kids' schools are about 25 minutes apart, instead of making him wait at his school for me for that long, he goes home with a friend of mine that has twin girls in his grade... she is a single mom-attorney, and so has a nanny, it was for her. she loved it so much went and bought herself a pink pleather jacket that evening to match

[woolandflax]

But I didn't. Here's one of the bags I've done lately. I still need to line it but I was in a hurry to give it to my daughter for her birthday. It's my own design, still have to write down the pattern though.

[RebeccaVelasquez]

that is really cute, rebecca :cloud9

i love the blue and white together!!! -- very chic for the winter:brrr

[woolandflax]

Thanks! lol, the color is a little off in the picture, it's not really blue, it's a pretty lavender. My baby adores anything purple so the majority of her clothes and stuff are in shades of it.

Rebecca,

That bag is SO cute!!! :yay2

[Chie]

I love seeing all the bags! :)h

 

I have been in a slump. It seems like I just can't finish any projects. :th

 

to myself, and I am joining this CAL. ) I've already picked out a pattern, which is one of Japanese patterns, and I crocheted a few rows. I'll post a progress pics later.

[RitziMitzi]

It's in the BAG!!! My first "official" bag for the Bag Along...

<img border=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/wickedstitch/bagalong.jpg" />

I used the Jaunty Shells pattern from LA Trendsetting Totes...size G hook...RH Yarn - Farmland and Ranch Red...

 

Are there more in the works? We shall see...

[RebeccaVelasquez]

mitzi!!! that is SOOO cute! :)h i'd love to know the size of that - i really like the style, but it looks like it might be bigger than what i like to carry --- i just may have to search out this booklet :sherlock

[MiCountess]

Mitzi - what a beautiful bag. :yay2 Can you find that pattern in a store? I may just have to join this. Michelle

[RitziMitzi]

Oh Gosh!<img border=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/rowofhearts.gif" />I'm filled with tickles! Thanks for all the wonderful comments. This bag is super easy and fun - lots of color potential. I got the pattern from a Leisure Arts book - I think it was Hobby Lobby during one of their 1/2 instructional books sales. I think they still carry them, too. It's not really that old - at least not to me. The pattern gauge says 12 1/2" tall without the handles and 10 1/2" wide. However GAUGE and I are not on speaking terms (we were never friends anyways) and mine isn't quite 10" wide and it's only 9" tall not including the straps. The strap adds about another 13 1/2" to the length. Now if you fill it full of all the junk we "need" to carry, I imagine it would stretch - but I made this very tightly as to avoid that...i hope i hope i hope....

 

The talented crocheter could probably even rig up some kind of closure - but I don't mind it gaping open that much.

I made a plastic bag keeper - does it count? I mean, it's a bag, and it holds bags...well - I won't be devastated if it doesn't - but here it is anyways!

 

<img border=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/wickedstitch/bagkeeper.jpg" />

 

I used Sugar 'n Cream yarn - Sage Green and Countryside Ombre, modified the pattern from Bernat's Daisy Days book and attached a flower from <a href="http://patbythehook.blogdrive.com/archive/31.html" target="_new">Dot</a>.

 

Now to go and stuff it and hang it somewhere!!!
