Yes, another BAG!
I confess, I am addicted to bags, all sorts of bags. Every time I make a bag, I make up my mind that this would be the last one. But I never keep that promise I make myself! I have some serious addiction, I should say!
As part of my stash busting efforts, I reorganised my yarn stash and sorted out all the yarns based on colour and material. That is when I noticed two packs full of twine in the bottom if my storage bin. How they skipped my sight so far is still a mystery. However that happened, I had to be honest with myself and own them up as part of my stash. They too had to be dealt with in a most deserving way. Thus I embarked on my twine-busting program! Made two bags out of the first pack of 12 balls, one of the with twine held two together which can be seen here.The second one is this bag, which is a mix of all the elements I wanted in a bag, soft colour, texture, depth, long straps that don't dig into the shoulder and short ones to hold my bag close to body when in a crowded place.
So, without much ado is present my twine bag V2!
TA DA!
Some details about the construction of the bag, for those who would like to know the details.
The thread/twine is held double for the double crochet (dc) base for strength.
The sides are done with single thread in Suzette stitch. (It is single crochet (sc) and dc done in the same chain for the first row and on the sc of the previous row in rest of the rows.)
The edge of the bag is finished with Crab stitch (Reverse sc).
The straps are made of Laura knitting cotton I bought many months back from Pradhan Embroidery Stores and leftover from the brown dress here. I would write a separate post on the dress someday.
The embellishment is detachable as I intend to throw my bag in the wash when it gets dirty, which it would, as I plan to use this bag a lot. The beads for the embellishment came from my beads collection, which too is getting out of control with some of the members almost in their teens!
I finished the bag in a week, with a couple of other projects thrown in between.
If anyboby likes to make this bag with twine or anyother yarn, I would only be happy to help.
NOTE: The pattern for this bag could be found here.
