My newest crochet adventure.

I'm trying out crochet thread.

Remember the crochet thread for $2.00 a cone?

Below is my first attempt.

The original pattern is here

Granny Square Bag/Purse

This was pretty easy and fast to make.

It's simply made from 6 granny squares sewn together.
Then I used the crochet moss stitch around the top of the bag.
I have found a very strong way of making the handles for the bags.
It's simply a length of chain-hdc around both sides of the chain, then complete with rsc (crab st).
That hdc is American English. I suppose the translation for it would be htrbl.
I read so many American English patterns, I find my self writing in those terms.

Now What To Do With This

So this is a before picture.

I cut the bottom off the skirt, to shorten it a little and I will use the cut piece to make a matching top.
We'll come back to this project once I've completed it.

I've also got to work on this thread I bought for $2.00 a cone.
