I have been having some not so good postal mail karma. Remember this? Anyway, I sent a replacement package to Josie and finally, she now has her swap package! (Dont get me started of how this package sat at New Delhi customs clearance for days. A totally different postal karma story).
This is a great, super easy, super quick, market bag pattern (see info below). Since these bags really stretch out, I crocheted in a very tight gauge and made shorter handles. The yarn fiber also helped--it is very closely plied and holds up very well for projects like bags, coasters, mats.
Pattern: String Bag from Lesley Stanfield's book First Crochet
Yarn: J&P Coats Royale - Lovebeads Crochet, 1.6 skeins
Hook: 3.5mm

love it!!! what kind of fiber is it? cotton? acrylic? thanks
I saw a picture of it on the swap thread over on Ravelry and I was thinking how pretty this yarn looks. Josie's already got her weekend shopping in it, so it's going to be put to great use!
I love the bag and the yarn! This would be perfect for baby laundry bag. Anything that hangs is great for a small apartment.
What a pretty bag! Thank goodness the bag reached Josie this time!
It looks great. It reminds me of the Bendigo cotton sock yarn, lovely colors. I am glad the parcel reached its destination. I always worry when I send parcels off if they are going to make it to the other end, a bit nerve wrecking isnt it.
That is beautiful! I love the colors you used...
that yarn is very pretty!
cool bag... love the colors of the yarn.
What a great fun market bag - lovely bright colours.
Love the bag! Looks perfect to keep fruits as you have kept. We had a similar mesh bag back home. But yours is way more beautiful :)
Lovely Bag! The yarn looks sooo pretty too

P.S. The mural is gorgeous, even at this stage...
I love that yarn, too. And the bag, of course! :) I should whip up something like this for toting around wet swimsuits and such.
yay! I'm so glad that the second bag made it's way to your friend. Cute yarn, fun pattern! Great job!
