What a beautiful sunshiny day it is today! I hope it is where you are too. With the nice weather, I thought it was time I made myself a new summer handbag. I like these crochet bags and have made several over the years. I'm getting near the top now and thinking how I will insert the zip and make the adjustable strap. I tie a knot in the strap of my other bag when I want it shorter which is not very stylish so I thought this time I would make a proper adjustable strap. I will also line it to give it more body.
I'm still enjoying knitting socks and have another pair on the go. Just a plain knit self-striping design this time. But do you like my stitch marker? I tested a little "ice-drop" type of tatting design for a friend and I thought it would make a nice stitch marker.
And lastly, I've only managed three of the repeats on the last round of my doily so far. I really like the shape of the points on this little doily.
Best wishes,
Frivole
I love the colour of your crochet bag! It looks perfect for a walk in the sun. I'm curious how you will make the adjustable strap. Will it also be crocheted?
