interweave colorsplash bag

okie dokie - i finished it! it's for the same sister i did the 1 hour scarf for on thanksgiving :*chsanta

i followed the pattern and used the same exact yarn

my advice on this pattern - crochet fairly tightly - notice i didn't and my bag is quite a bit larger than the one they show. i don't consider my work to be tight or loose - just normal-i've always thought :shrug but this one does need to be done tighter, except when the area that goes through the handles.... that was perfect. who knows:thinking2

I love it, Rebecca! What an excellent gift idea! :*cgift

:cry I have so got to finish mine now. It's in need of a minor frogging before I get started going again.

:*cwreath What a lovely bag! She's gonna :heart it.

That's fabulous. Does it stretch out when you put stuff in it? I'd probably end up making a fabric liner to keep it in shape.

[rebeccav]

i do plan to line it... just was anxious for you all to see :*chsanta

yes, it has quite a bit of stretch to it. definately needs lining:U
