Crochet Project: Natural Reuseable Shopping Bag
Just posted my latest crochet project over on my Ravelry profile: Natural Reusable Shopping Bag.
I used Jill Chatelain's Rust Goes Green pattern. It came together in about 10 days, for this mom who works full-time outside the home. (which means it might go more quickly for others, not in the same situation. Then again, maybe not!)
I like the various versions done in variegated yarns displayed in the Ravelry Gallery (dude - say that sentence five times fast!) If I make another one of this pattern, I think I would try a variegated yarn - maybe a pink/brown/natural. I would also increase/widen the bottom for a bigger bag overall. (We buy a LOT of groceries! At least, it seems that way to me!)
I love it! And Allie was crocheting at the last knitting group - you don't have to hide it from us. LOL

The first time I saw your bag over on Ravelry I was very impressed with the color sense. Adding the red details makes the bag "pop". Great job!

Very cool! Thanks, Jill!
And thanks, Rach - we'll see if I'm brave enough to bring a crochet project to KG! ;)
