Can't wait for it I love the wristbag but I hate joining. Thanks for writing it up:cheer

[TepperWear]

Well, since I've been eagerly anticipating this pattern, I'd be glad to test it. My email is tepperleen@aol.com. Thanks.

[deneen]

I'm almost done. I am to the handles and so far, terrific. We have company now, but I'll get it done tonight. So Andrea, it's great so far!

[crochetdiva]

Thanks so much Deneen, I really appreciate your help. I should be able to post it now, since the bottom of the bag was the only real change...except for the number of stitches.

I am so impatient! I knew you were working on this one but I have some yarn I was eager to try so I am half way thru your original wristbag pattern (my 4th one, love it!). So now I will just have to make 2 of them, durn! Thank you so much for sharing your great patterns with us!!!

[crochetfun]

Great!

 

I should have waited 24 hours and I would not have had to wing it!

I'll try it with the next one.

[CrazeeMoi]

Thank YOU so much for sharing!!!

Thanks for sharing the pattern, Andrea! Hmmmm......do you think it'll turn out ok if I held 2 strands of size 10 crochet thread together? All I got is thread.

Really neat!

[crochetdiva]

Jackie, I don'tknow if two strands would be enough. Perhaps 3 or 4 would work. I just made something with two strands of thread that usually required worsted weight, and it was about 2/3 the size when finished. Hope that helps.

I forgot to add, that anyone that printed out the pattern before Sunday morning needs to make note of the correction in the handle instructions. It should read 7 st not 8. Everything else looks ok, so far.

Jackie-

 

I would definitely do four strands held together and the h hook. Right now I am doing it in 1500 ypp thin chenille and am using two strands helt together throughout. The holes are too open if it's too thin.

 

Hope that helps.

I just finished this one and I love it Andrea! I used a boucle I found at JoAnn's that comes in a huge skein. It is shades of pink and it gradually goes from dark to light so it looks really cool done in the round. I had to use a G hook to get a tight enough weave for a bag. (which was a total challenge with a boucle) And it is so cute! Thank you for sharing!!!! (I would post a pic, but my poor dig. camera broke a few days ago wah!)

[crochetdiva]

OOOh, how much is that yarn? Does it come in other colors? It sounds like one in Mary Maxim for like $40 or more. can't wait to see the bag!

[YaYa Yarnhood]

It is JoAnn's Sensations Rainbow Boucle and it is only $7.99 for a big 11 oz skein. They had pink tones, blues tones and I think purple too? I didn't find it on their website but at my Joann's it was in a big box display off to the corner of the yarn section. The item UPC number is 807404055076 if that helps. (I wish I could show you a picture. I am going through digicam withdrawals, can you tell?)

[Chie]

I really need to try this one!

Thanks for sharing!

[sallymander]

Hi there.....I'm quite new here, just joined today in fact, but I found your pattern last night and I had to make one right away!! I just love it.....very cute bag, easy to follow pattern. I didn't have a single problem...well besides the fact that I didn't have quite enough yarn. I used a G hook and bordered with fun fur....it's so cute. I don't know how to post a pic here yet, but I just put one on my blog if you want to see it. Thanks for the great pattern.....I'll be making many of these!!!

:clap:clap

I'm so glad to see this pattern in the round.

I'm not a good "make 2 of these" person.

That's why my oldest DD only has *one* slipper!

 

Thanks so much for sharing this!

:lol at one slipper. I'm not a 2 pc person either. I would always rather make 1 piece than 2 & not have to join pieces...

 

so thank you Andrea for your wonderful patterns! I have crocheted 2 of the other pattern & very happy with them. I will try this one soon too.

[crochetdiva]

Thank you! I am amazed at the response I have had to the wristbag patterns...way cool, as my dd says. And to the one slipper....that would work well with all the single socks in our house.

[Riohnna]

I love wristbags. Thank you for sharing the pattern!

[Shrinkingviolet]

Thank you so much for this pattern! I am so proud of my completed bag, especially considering it is the only thing aside from a scarf, hat or afghan that I have ever finished! The pattern was very easy to follow. I started it this afternoon while my children were napping, and finished it this evening while we all watched Christmas cartoons. A wonderful pattern, and I will no doubt make several for presents over the next couple of weeks!
