Hello!
I made this yoga mat bag for my sister-in-law for Christmas.
I tried following this pattern:
www.birdnest.org/nelsone2...anaBag.htm (http://www.birdnest.org/nelsone2/hookmeup/Patterns/ShavasanaBag.htm)
This was my third project, so I kind of messed up on the directions here: :blush
Repeat Rounds 7-9 until your circle has a tube about 3" shorter than your yoga mat's width (the height when it is rolled up).
When you go back to 7 it used to say:
Round 7: ch 3 (you know what that means!) 1 dc
into each dc from previous round. sl st to join.
(60)
What I did is dc into each dc from before the sc. So I have the dc looping back over my 2 rows of sc. :nono Unfortunately, I didn't get that it was wrong until the next day when I carefully looked at the picture of her finished project online and noticed the difference between mine and hers. I was 3/4 the way done by then. :th
I sent Emily Nelson and email and she fixed her right away and was really sweet and helpful about it.
Anyway, I ended up just keeping going in the same way. I looked at it again after taking a break from it and was actually liking what I saw. I think it was a happy accident.
I think her pattern and bag is really beautiful, but I am fine with the way mine turned out. If I make another, I want to follow her directions :) However, it is super-strong (it's like, Double Stitched!) and my sister in law likes it.
No frogs here!:frog
Anyway... here are the pics. Let me know what you think.
