I did a fleuri bag

[Chatty]

When I first saw the other bag I thought about Mindy, my SIL's adopted daughter at church so I showed it to him and he said she would like it too. He said her favorite color is orange so I got some orange yarn and this is the result. I lined it in black, crocheted the handles on then crocheted the whole thing together. I hope she likes it.

great job! dig the orange

those handles are so neat!!

 

did you use a chunky yarn?

doesn't the pattern call for a chunky yarn?

have i lost my mind? (i think this one is a yes for sure)

[Chatty]

Yes, the pattern calls for a chunky yarn. No, I used RH Super Saver then lined it to prevent stretching.

 

The handles are 2 metal moons I found in the craft section at WM and I thought they'd make great handles.

[MarvieN]

Oh that's cute!!!

[crosette]

That came out really nice....The orange is sooo pretty and I love the metal handles.

that is so percious! she will love it!

[HookandCrook]

Way cool, Chatty. If she doesn't like it, send it to me.

 

Thanks for the site link - what a great place that is!

[Chatty]

Thanks guys. I also just finished a granny kerchief in the same yarn. I put it inside the bag so she'll find it when Gregg gives it to her-gotta do something with all this leftover orange yarn

 

Might have to make myself a kerchief

 

Pickles, you got it, but I have a feeling you'll have to fight Mindy for it

Wow, great job. I love the orange it is so summery. I'm working on lining my bags. Just need to sew them in. FYI...You can also use doubled worsted weight and a K hook to make it sturdier if you don't have chunky weight.

It was worth a shot, so to speak.

[Tiffany]

Very nice! That pattern looks so cute in the orange!

[Frangipani]

That's great! It looks like you lined it and the handles are very cool!

[Jewels]

that looks really great, especially in orange!

[cinfulkarmah]

That is so cute! I hope she loooooves it! And wears it out with so much use that you have to make another cute purse for a replacement.

 

 

It's neat to see all the different versions of this bag that are popping up!

[Chatty]

Thanks guys. I did line it and I did like those moons I found for handles.

 

I'll let you all know how she likes it.

 

[ellebee]

I love it! Great color choice

[Chatty]

Thank you, it's her favorite color, that's why I chose it.

 

[lilhatshack]

That's beautiful - don't you just love Julies patterns - I do! Love the orange - lucky gal who gets that one!!!

[AshEgypt]

That is well cool! Orange flowers rock!
