"NEED" another bag? Who heard of NEEDING another bag? Isn't wanting one enough justification to make another?

Do you and I talk alot!? That is exactly what I said when I saw that the other day! Definately added to my WIM projects.

I like the colors they used !!! Thanks for sharing!

I already ordered the cotton to make 2 of them! I saw the pattern the other night in a fit of insomnia, and since I can't find the cotton locally went right to eBay and got some cheaper than from Lion themselves.

I saw that bag too

 

I know the pattern calls for cotton yarn but how do you think it would be with regular old WW yarn? I'm new to crochet and changing yarn types scares me as I don't know enough as what to use instead.

I'm going to try it with worsted weight yarn....it'll be larger than the pattern calls for. But the bigger the better when it comes to bags, right???!!!!

Oh yes, I'm a "big bag" lady

 

Do you think the hook size needs changed then also?

I love the bag but all the sewing has scared me away from making it!

[Krystal16]

If you want to make a bigger bag with a larger hook, I would suggest doubling up your yarn. When making a bag like this, I would think that the tighter the stitch, the better - it will prevent droop, as well as keep things from falling through any gaps (unless you're going to line it, then don't listen to a word I'm saying!).

Love the bag and all the funny comments

......... it's also on my "to do" list.

[Cinnaminn]

TY for the link! It looks like a great pattern and have added it to my WIM list!

Sewing ???

 

Maybe I better go back and actually read the pattern instead of just looking at it!!

I just started making that! I will try to post it when I am done. I love that it has individual pieces because it is tooooo hot to crochet anything big. I am making it in the blue cotton but have not decided on the staps color yet. Very easy and very fast; I made the back in one night. I may have to send it to someone to finish sewing, lol, that's the part I don't like......Denise

I'm not sure why they don't just have you do one long strip for the pockets that wraps around the circumference of the bag. That would make more sense to me instead of sewing individual pockets. I mean, sure, it's going to have a tiny more bulk at the corners, but small price to pay, in my opinion.

 

I'm wondering if this could be felted?
