One that I forgot to mention, but not forgettable! I love this bag! Ella Rae Casbah is the yarn. Two skeins of blue, three skeins of orange, and four skeins of burgundy. Pattern is from the Jo Sharp Saturday Book. I've been loving this pattern (but not knowing how to crochet...) since I saw it in Charleston at the Knit shop on Wentworth about a year and a half ago... Now that I learned to crochet from Sandy at Charlotte Yarn, I made SURE that this bag is my FIRST finished object in crochet. Single crochet, all the way.
Love this yarn so much I got TWELVE skeins of it from a lady on Ravelry! Cotton, cotton, cotton. I might make they Eyelet Cardi out of this yarn. Not sure yet. Gotta see how it gauges, first. Come to think of it, I probably should have done a gauge swatch for this pattern, too. The strap came out WAAAAAY longer than I anticipated, but Aimee helped me come up with a fix for it. I ran the strap along the bottom on the interior of the bag to shorten the strap, and to also reinforce the bottom. :) That girl is a smartie, for REAL.
Hourglass problems taught me to always swatch! (It turned out to knit up WAY too big....) More later.
