My Creative Space


In the Round.

I've almost finished this sleep over bag for The Fairy.

I had crocheted a strap to put over it,
but it just didn't seem right.

I've left it alone for a couple of days,
in the hope that I'll come up with
that something right.
I'm leaning heavily towards making it a back pack.

The pattern is based on
Lucy's crochet bag from
I say based, because I came across it on another blog
(sorry, I cannot remember)
and just looked at the picture and decided I could do that.
There was another bag before this one.
It is eNORmous.
That's what just looking does.

For this one I used a smaller hook and less rows in the round before I started
decreasing the stitches.
I have put a drawstring with pom poms through the top.
It is super cute, even if I do say so myself.
Two back pack straps will just finish it off,
keeping the super cute intact, me thinks.

Have a wander here for a view onto a creative world.

Lovely. Being Welsh I was immediately drawn to the red and white bold colours too.

I could never look at something and just wing it. Half the time, I don't even get the patterns exactly right, but practice makes perfect and I keep trying. :) Your project looks great. Best wishes, Tammy

Loving the crochet so much. Red and white stripes... fantastic. But you'd expect me to say that since I'm a Sydney Swans supporter!

You are just sooo clever Carmel- love the stripes and have no idea how you can then crochet and attache straps- honestly you should be selling all this amazing stuff honey....for mama's like me that just cannot, for some reason, add crochet to our list of creative achievements!!
