Bag Maths

Sometimes bag / knitting patterns are no different than crazy maths. This pattern was very confusing as it is 3 dimensional and has lots of color combo's but flat and black and white it was har to follow.

I colored the squares, cut out the pattern and glued it in the shape it was going to be knitted in.

This way Mum could easily follow the pattern without the need to figure out the colors or next row.

The result was pretty cool once finished.

And even cooler once felted! Dried around a little bucket to dry in shape.

I sewed a lining in place and added straps.

And voila a super cool geometric bag!

As it is felted it is firm and water resistant. I love the pattern and the color combo, cheerful and unusual.

The bag is available at StarBags.

My mother is addicted to crafty blogs, she loves looking at work of other's, lurking, and reading about crafter's lifes.
It always brings her pleasure going through these blogs, but this time she got herself in to trouble. She found a pattern through the blog GipsyBazar with the thought to make a bag out of it. But I convinced her to make a throw, like the original for me he he he :)
So instead of about 24 squares she'll have to make a hundred, I hope she'll still love me when she has finished it :D

I love the boho feeling and colorful pattern, and you can see how it will become below.

The last picture is taken from GipsyBazar, where you can find all the credits and buy the pattern.

Mum just started with a new project, we'll see what it will become in the next few days as her plans can change along the way.

I always love crochet patterns, they remind me of some kind of scriptic code :) A code for all the crochetters in the world.
