Orang N Grey Stripe Bag


This bag combines two different colored yarn. The lining is a darker grey that I hand sewn on.



Took longer to make than normal because I had to keep count of the rows for each color, but I liked how it came out.

Scarfs



This green and blue scarf, is a scarf that my mother crochet about twenty seven years ago that I wear. The thing is when ask how she made it, she can't remember. I stare at it at times trying to figure it out how she made it. Hummmmmm.......

This was one of the first scarfs that I crochet. I started commuting to Chicago, and OMG the wind was to much for me so I decided to make a scarf, but I didn't know how to crochet so this was a good practice, but as you can see I missed a step some where and it curls into itself. Well I wore it to Chicago and it was not enough to keep the wind from coming through. :( But I figured out what material did and I started to make my scarfs with it.

Now this is the most current scarf that I have finished. It is really fuzzy, soft and warm. This one is knitted. I started to knit about a year ago and this is what I can do thus far. Hopefully I will improve and one day be able to make sweaters. :)

Blue Bag






LOL, I think that I finished this bag in record time. It took me about a week. A friend requested a bag and she also gave me the cloth that I used for the lining. I think it looks nice with the dark blue. Usually I use solid colors for the inside.

Red and Purple Bags







These bags were a Christmas gift for two of my friends. I was going to give the bags to them probably about two x-mas ago, but one thing or another kept coming up and I didn't finish them on time, BUT I FINALLY was able to finish them this year. LOL. Better late than never. ;)

Small Hand Bags

Phew.... About a month ago or so, I was asked if I can make five bags within a month. The answer to that is NO!!!! But with in a month and a half yes!! At first it was just going to be three bags, which that might of been plausible, but than the request increase to FIVE bags. I was in a panic as the end of the month came around, but than I was told that I had until the 29th of this month. Now I am done and here are the finished products. Sorry about the quality of the pictures. I need to get a better camera.
I have problem with making the shoulder strap so my mom helps me by crocheting the straps on all of my bags. I am still learning and improving the method that I use to make them.

I don't use a sewing machine, so sewing the linings to the bags takes longer.

Pink Bag

I started crocheting bags about three years or more ago and they have always been the same style, but this time around I decided to do a different style. I'll post some of my other bags later. This bag has white and pink yarn, and a very strong pink lining . I hand sowed the lining to the bag. I can't use a sowing machine for the life of me. My bobbing always gets tangled, my string breaks and so do my needles. :( So I stick to hand sowing my stuff.
