Shade of Waves.......

[sheryl*]

I could have sworn there was a CAL for some kind of tote bag or something with the shades of waves pattern as being one to make. Welp I've looked and looked for the posts and haven't found it, so that left me with putting this post here....sorry.

I did however make one, I'll have a picture for it soon in my blog, but i was kinda disappointed in how mine turned out. It started out wavy, but went alittle straighter later on. I think the pattern needed some fixing up, sorry. But I made the colors black, purple and light purple. You'll have to see the picture when I have it up and let me know what you think. It's a very nice tote though.

Good idea for a CAL. I like this bag and would like to make another one (after the holidays most likely). I may have posted it under the Purse CAL as I was posting some links in there for bag patterns. But a cal for this bag specifically is a good idea as that post for the pattern was getting large with all the people making it.

Oooh...I like it. Does anyone know the approximate size of the bag, and how much yarn it takes?

[Debbi-a1]

Mindy it's all the pattern link but it is long. I used Red Heart WW for mine, size H hook (I think) and it didn't even take a full skien of 3 different colors. Maybe 3 oz if that much. And I crochet lose.

 

Here's some more info from my blog

Anyone working on the bag? I've made 3 already, and will be starting another one in a couple of days.

[q8_crochet]

i`ll be working on that too these couple of days

This bag is very nice. I think I, too, will join in on CAL for this bag after the new year.

[q8_crochet]

i started the first one today for my SIL

and thinking of making another for the other SIL

wish me luck and haste

At 1st glance I thought those were blankets. But as reading other posts that

they are purses(dah me). Was wondering if you could use this st. on a blanket?

Whatever the work looks very nice.

 

jaye

I would love to join this cal too. I love that bag and want to make me and my daughter-in-law one.

[mamarose22]

Nana5boys, you certainly can use this stitch on an afghan. As a matter of fact there are quite a few ripple afghan patterns. But this is the first time I have seen it on a tote.

I'm going to make another one. I'm teaching the adults Sunday School at church and need one for my books and paper. And I've been using the one I use for work... so I really need a second one so I'm not taking out and removing things (and sometimes misplacing them:blush). I have some wood round handles I bought just because I may use them one day and I think I may try this on this bag. I'm not sure on the colors though... I have tons of black and white and a skein of blue I could use... Maybe just buy some new yarn or a new color.

I definitely want to make one. I have a lot of scraps that would like to be used.

[Debbi-a1]

I started another one last night. I went shoping and looked at the yarn and found 2 I liked. Country Blue and Painted Desert verigated.

And a close up to see the colors better:

 

More ifno on my blog if you're interested.

I just posted a picture of my WIP for this CAL under the original post. I think it is coming out quite nicely.

[Debbi-a1]

Mine is almost done. I need to single crochet around the handle (I remember I didn't do the alternative rsc or a rsc around the top or handles and am fine with that) and then line it and I'm done!

Here is the finished "Waves of Color" bag, fully lined. I did have some problems making a lining to fit. After frogging and adjusting for the 4th time, I said "this is it" if it don't fit I will forget the lining. It did fit.

 

 

[Debbi-a1]

Maybe it doesn't show for me? Or the link doesnt?

Mine is still a wip:blush. I would really like it done too, but that doesn't work... working on it does:lol. I have almost all the crocheting done, except the sc around the inside of the handles (I didn't do the rsc or arsc or whatever it was, it worked fine the last time). Then just do the lining...

I was thinking of doing another one of these. Maybe in black and white (I have that in my stash all ready). But not sure yet. I'm thinking black as I'm making another purse (yes another one) and it's in cotton, Black Cherry (left over yarn from my Heakelbeutel Bag (BIG bag) ), and my current Waves Tote is in brown and light tan. This way they can match (and why shouldn't they since I can crochet them:yes)

Waves of color Tote Bag Pattern here is it. I guess she moved it to her own website.I can't find the original post, maybe it was deleted, but I think it should be fine to post the link here. It's a free pattern still.
