April for ME!

 Masa Bag in crochet.

 I used Lily Sugar 'N' Cream Solid (Robin's Egg) and Stripes (Country Stripes) and double crocheted a rectangle of about 30x90 centimeters.

 Here are the directions on how to make the Masa Bag.

I really like the color combination.  It was a happy accident really that I needed the third skein of yarn in Robin's Egg.  I changed the original size to be slightly bigger so that I could carry more stuff around.  I thought the original size dimensions were a little too small and could possibly get me all sorts of angry when the time for folding and seaming the bag together came around.  I decided not to line the bag because whenever I use cotton yarn, my stitches don't really allow anything to break through.  So, a potential crisis averted!  Other people's projects added buttons  but I thought the button would get in my way of trying to reach in the bag.  The strap isn't super long because even though it's cotton, I was still afraid it may stretch out.  When worn around my shoulder the bag bottom hits just at the top of my waist.  Perfect!


Happy 200th post to me!!!
