Granny purse

[kusine]

I was sending a parcel to a friend across the country and realized that I had nothing in it for her, just presents for her dog! So I quickly whipped up a bag for her.

 

 

It's a granny square from 200 Crochet Blocks - I can't remember which one at the moment. The center is leftover Paton's Divine in orangina, and the outer part is just ivory (or cream. I can't remember ) Sugar & Cream. It's lined with plain canvas - I didn't want to distract from the orange. It's about 11" wide by 12" high. I would have preferred to make the strap a little longer, but I was starting to run out of yarn!

You are so thoughtful! I like that purse. How did you do plastic canvas on the inside? Instead of lining it with fabric? That would make it stiffer, though. Nice job. I'm sure she will like it.

I like! And I bet the use of canvas would help keep it nice and durable as well as being neutral ... very nice!

It's just plain cotton canvas, not plastic canvas.

 

Thanks!

Really cute! Perfect way to welcome spring! Just whipped it up, did ya? You're very good at whipping. Love the blocks book. Great inspiration for squares, colors, designs, etc.

It's very nice! I love the 200 Crochet Block book. It's a great reference!

I love the bag!! I've been eyeing that book! I love grannie squares!

Thanks for the kind comments everyone!

 

I went back and looked at the book, and it was block #42. It's made with three or four colors in the book, but I just used the two.

 

Thanks again!

I just heard from my friend, who got the purse, and she said "I love it, love it, love it!"

 

It's always nice to hear that someone likes what you made for them! Thanks again for all the compliments.
