C'est un tout petit monde

Read “It’s a small world".

This is the name I intend to give to my new pattern (still in the process of writing). A market bag that you can see here “folded” into its attached purse.

So, answer to our guessing game… it wasn’t a capelet, it wasn’t a shrug, it wasn’t a doily, it was … a market bag.
:crochethook:

I just tested it irl

it successfully carried (and my shoulder still hurts!)

1 pack of 10 croissants
1 pack of 10 petits pains au lait
1 pack of tortellinis
1 liter milk
1 liter soup
3 small boxes of mushrooms
1 cake
205 g butter
un marseille soap
1 tuna box
1 corn box
1 kg cottage cheese
1 glass mustard
1 box of asparagus

That is … 6525 g!

Problem : when it stretches it tends to touch the ground, when said ground is uneven, and it would have cut into my hand haven’t I had a handkerchief handy in my bag… May be I should line the handles in the middle…

I’m still very happy with it, come back soon for the pattern!

It's a small world

The eco-friendly shopper in me has long been wanting a shopping bag that would be easy to stuff in my ever-so-trendy-but-too-small handbags and would not endanger the life of sea turtles (you know plastic bags kill them, don't you?).
Well, this (crochet worls) is a small world, and this idea has been floating around on the internet for a while.

  • Canadian living has a very simple one.
  • Crochetme! issue n°14 (Spring 2004) has a pattern called Reduction tote bag, a filet tote bag with a granny square pocket to stuff the empty tote in (in my would-be-project I envisionned a round pocket with a zipper, that would also act as a purse).
  • Erin et Carol knitalong blog features free patterns for crochet, knit and mesh shopping bags : String it along.
  • Loom knitting anyone? Loom knitters circle recently features two free patterns : Hemp shopping bag and Market tote.
  • And how about going all the ecolo-way down and recycling your old plastic bags into a new eco-friendly shopping bag? Marlo will show you how to make them into skeins first... à la Marlo.

More free patterns ?

Now, our new guessing game...

What is this ?

  • Crocheted!

  • Is it knitted? Nope! Crocheted! Crochet isn't just for grannies, doilies and floppy funky scarves. I am - fairly - under 50, I have a crochet hook and a yarn ball handy in my purse and I like decorating my shoulders better than my sofa.
