Week 2 of Making Monday brought to you again from Sunny Crete on my last day of summer vacation. So sad to be going home but pleased I managed to finish one project while I was here.
The bag turned out a bit larger than I had planned and the straps were about 1" too long but otherwise, I'm happy with it. I will line the bag when I get home though as it needs a bit more sturdiness to it not to mention I don't want stuff poking out!
I used 8 skeins of Patons Cotton Twist Aran weight yarn (50% cotton/acrylic) and a size 3.5mm/E crochet hook. I might make another one using different yarn as the colors were not quite what I wanted. I might gift this bag once it's lined. Not sure who would like these colors but it would make a cute tote bag and would hold a decent amount.
Having done the little flowers for this, I have decided to make a little cushion cover with them once I am back in London. They are super fun and easy to do thanks to a tutorial on my Fave Crochet blog: Attic 24.
This afternoon I'll get back to working on my Peasy cardigan. Hopefully I'll be sharing the finished project in a near future Making Monday update!
