This Little Bag Went to Market
We had fun with this crochet little market bag a few years back. It has an interesting stitch which I hadn't seen before that allows the bag to expand in a geometric mesh formation. It's pretty spectacular.

Hi. I have entered this giveaway, twice so far, but have been unable to view the gallery to check as to whether they are there. I have tried viewing the gallery in Safari, Firefox, Chrome, on my computer and my ipad. I must have tried x30 times. The same thing happened with the giraffe mystery challenge… any ideas why it’s happening and how I can get to view the gallery? Ta.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

I just went back and re-read the pattern after watching your video. I have no idea how you figured out to do this from that pattern. I have been crocheting for years and can follow a pattern but.........anyway I ripped out what I had for row 10 and above and have started following the instructions in the video. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. This bag would have been a mess without your instructions. You have much more patience than I also as I was about to give it up so again THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

I agree with you, Lori. When I follow the written instructions, not only is it different than Mikey's version, but it does not match the bag in the picture. I tried it several times, stitch-by-stitch, going slower and slower each time; I even had my husband read the directions to me stitch-by-stitch and it still did not turn out correctly. I don't believe it's written correctly. I can understand how Mikey came up with his version and I'm glad he did, I love my bag and it's something I wouldn't have done if not for this challenge.
