....yes, I got a new japanese crochet book and the picture on the front cover made me say : I just need this one!!!! So....
....the real purpose of the author is to recycle old tees and shirts into lovely crochet ideas, but I decided that the patterns included were good even for usual yarn....I need to de-stash a little bit and some blues were ready for this aim...and I started this little project last Saturday evening and...
...it was fun to play with the colours, starting from the darkest one...
....and not being strict when changing to a new colour. When one was finished I just started with a different one at any point of my work, even in the middle of a row...
I love the texture given by the stitches and I enjoyed taking some pictures into the light...
After completing the base and the cylinder, I started to crochet the triangles to attach the handles ...
....to have a better idea of the gradual variations of the colours...
....and here they come : the handles...
...the pattern was completed on Sunday morning! Easy peasy project!!
...Did I say "completed"???? Ehm, no....
I thought that acrylic yarn is not nice to keep in your hands when you live in a hot country like Indonesia, you know, sweating is sometimes a little bit annoying, so I added just something...
....some simple colourful fabric covers for the handles!!!! I think they are much more comfortable in this way, no? ;oD
If you compare the product shown on the book cover with mine...
.....you can really notice how different they are and I like it : personalise a project is a must for me and it makes me happy!!!
I really love this quick craft and I honestly think that in the future there will be some more little bags, each with its own personality...
.....different colours and different embellishments!!!!!
