Crochet-a-Long ***
I've been teasing you with photos of this secret project forever-and-a-day, and now it can finally be revealed ...
It's a crochet granny hex bag for
Diane of craftypod.com. It was a surprise, which is why I couldn't show you the whole thing until she got it.
It's inspired by
this hex bag (which Diane tweeted about in June). I modified the hex pattern, created a half-hex to straighten out the top, and made up the granny-strap pattern. I used
my lining worksheet to make the lining. The yarn is worsted weight cotton Sugar 'n Cream.
I took a bazillion pictures of the bag before I packed it up. So many happy bursts of color to capture.
Even with all that color and joy, the part that just tickles me silly is the way the white edging rhythmically weaves together between the hexes. It's hard to capture in photos, but the white is so beautifully entangled in itself. I love it!
If you want to see more details, check out
Diane's Flickr set. She took some great photos of the lining and tag. And she says some very sweet things about it. Because she's like that ... sweet and awesome and just the best ever. XOXO!
