Oops. I did it again/ Market bag inspiration


Ok, my friends. I did it again, its been too long since I last blogged. My catholic side feels the need to repent, so this is me repenting and blogging for you, and for me too truth be told.

Not too much has happened other than a lot of crocheting! Mostly market bags of my own design, made of cotton yarns that had been collected over time. Some all the way from Oregon's Websters yarn shop in Ashland. That is the pic you see at the top Do you sometimes find that you love a yarn and buy enough for a project and then a year or so has gone by and you still didnt find just the right project? Well that was the case with this beautiful yarn. So I decided to throw both hooks in and use it for a lovely market bag, and it turned out great! I highly enocourage you to try making a purse or tote or market bag with some of your fave stash. Its not the typical hat or scarf that we all make sometimes to de stash, its something different and usefull all year no matter the weather, and it makes you more inclined to go check out your local farmers markets and swap meets and that in turn helps out the local scene. So you see its really a good cycle of destashing. =)
