FO: Spring Fling Bag

I LOVE THIS PATTERN! I have made TWO of these bags this week!!

First, it was my Infrared Flower Burst. NOW...it's a Spring Fling!

This time I used some Sugar'n Cream Hot Blue, Hot Green and Sugar'n Cream Twists Mod (I think this color is discontinued now.) I like using the worsted weight cotton for these.

It's a great cotton stash buster to make instead of washcloths. PLUS...the color combinations are just infinite! I'm looking at what all I have in my stash and how I can mix it up.The original pattern has it as all one color. BOOOOOOOOOOOORING!!!


One thing I did after the fact was cut a piece of plastic to the size of the bottom as an after-the-fact stiffener for the bottom of the purse. Next time, I'll make a more traditional stiff bottom.

I wonder what color combo will be next. :D

Wonder if I could sell these? Hmmmmmm.... How much could I sell them for?

FO: Infrared Flower Burst Bag

I was searching for some crocheted flowers yesterday and stumbled across this adorable free pattern from Chocolate Mints in a Jar... Flower Burst Handbag. I LOVE IT!

So I grabbed some cotton I had in my stash...Lion Cotton in Poppy Red, Orchid and Purple. HOT colors!! :)

Let me tell you...this is a great little pattern. Fast. Simple. Fun. and I'm done! I started it yesterday evening and finished it today.

I did make one adjustment. The pattern called for 42 chain stitches to make the handles. It was too long. I chained 28 and did four rows instead of three.

Finished size is about 10 x 2 x 12.

And it's Jack Cat approved. :)

I think I'll start another one.  Maybe turquoise and apple green. SQUEEEE!
