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.

For those who are still looking for Luster Sheen. Joann.com has the "Baby" sheen on sale for $3.82 a skein with special $1.99 shipping for today 6/10/14 only. Baby sheen is the same as Luster sheen except for the colors, which are pastels.

If I follow the entire pattern, but just add on some to make wider handles, is that still eligible for the challenge? 🙂

Well, doing the bottom was realistic, but after several attempts at the pattern and watching that part of the tutorial I am ditching the attempt at this. Mind you, I am not a novice. I have been crocheting for 50 years now. I will find a more peaceful outlet for my creativity! It is extremely confusing and I like to relax when I crochet.
