I crocheted a granny square bag, which I call the "Polka Dot Surprise" Bag. You will soon see why.
The bag says: I am so fashionable!
Bag again, against bamboo blinds at my parents' home
Polka Dot Surprise!: Bright pink (almost red) polka dot fabric lining. I must admit that I am not a "polka dot person", but I really like its "fun-aspect" contribution to this project.
The bag is made out of cotton twine bought at our local hardware store in NYC. I enjoyed making this bag (my mom and grandma have put in a request too). However next time, I will remember to wear gloves while working with such "fiber". I originally began the bag with jute twine, but this fiber gave me the sneezes.Becky also received the following gifts:
Lamb's Pride Cotton Fleece: My favorite yarn
A handmade, cross-stitch pouch (made out of "jute" fabric) from Jute Cottage, Bangalore
Indian print pillowcases

Dear Rima,
As usual this is an amazing chronicle of handmade crafts during your travels. I particularly like the Jute bag, and of course the homemade chocolate fudge at Corner House. I look forward to future postings.

Love the bag. Totally. Love. It. (And the lining.)
R,
I love your pics! It is so incredible to follow you while so far away...
Love the Jute bag! I expect good coffee when you return! Those beans look a little young - should be ready before you leave - right?
Miss you and your crafts! You are so yarny!

Dear Yarndays:
These are AMAZING - all from twine at a small NYC hardware store? It is refreshing to see how such items can be so versatile and so beautiful.
I will can't to go back to the hardware store and make my own projects.
