Having received 2 bags of wool last week and unsure what to make with all my amazing purple’s I started a little project for Eva using some rather colourful wool that had Eva written all over it which I found in the bags!
I decided to crochet a bag for her to give myself a bit of a challenge but struggled to find a pattern I liked so decided to just wing it with what I know and hoped for the best.
I was shocked when it started looking like a bag, maybe not perfect but for my first attempt with no pattern I was quite pleased with myself to be honest.
Surprisingly it began to look like the bag I had pictured in my mind fairly quickly and I was quite impressed with how quickly I managed to finish it considering I was only doing 10-20 minutes here and there across the week. I managed to twist the handle when I stitched it on so had to unpick the stitching then untwist the handle and restitch it again but luckily that didnt take too long either!
Im looking for 2 funky buttons so it can be done up and I still need to tuck the ends in but this is the finished product so far…
Eva absolutely loves the colours and pattern of the bag and has asked several times if its for her and if she can have it but I’ve told her I’m making it for someone else so I can hide it and fill it with gifts for her birthday.. Which I may have a little head start on already… 😉
I cant wait to give it to her! What do you think?
Now I need a new project.. Haha!
So pretty. I keep thinking I should learn to crochet.

Ah it's so lovely! Well done. I used to know how to crochet but I don't think I'd be able to make anything now. #passthesauce x
