Sometimes I just can't help it something just grabs my attention and my mind starts racing. Karen Kahle had a wonderful bag that she crocheted last week and I wanted to see what the wool yarn that I hand~dyed would look like crocheted. So off to find just the right crochet hook and pop over to Lucy's blog Attic24 where Karen had found a wonderful pattern for the tote she made.
Sometimes I like a pop of color and boy did I acheive it with this bag and is it ever sturdy. I used 4 ply wool yarn and it hooked up really fast in just one evening.
So yes I was inspired to be a copycat.....Thanks to Lucy and Karen!
Sunday afternoon we stopped by JoAnn's and I found this prim color of cotton yarn and I think with a bit of black mixed in here and there I just might crochet up something else. It isn't quite as bright as the picture shows. The color is buttercream even sounds delish!
So be inspired to be a copycat in a good sort of way and get those hands busy creating!
Happy Trails....Ginger

Ok Miss Copycat, I knew you would have to make one and I love it. Now you can make me one just like it. Colors are great!!!!!!!Have a good week..blessings,patijane
I was inspired by Karen's tote too and now yours, but haven't started mine yet. Hopefully I'll decide what to use.... the yarn I have, buy something more firm similar to jute so it isn't as floppy? But meanwhile I uncovered that UFO so will work on that.
Great beauty you crocheted.

Hi Ginger,
Always fun to have a pop of color now and then. The bag is beautiful - and being a copy cat is okay - we love seeing how someone else does the piece.
What pretty new yarn.
Many blessings,
Karen
Beautiful bag, I haven't crocheted in years. I do love seeing all of the fun yarns that they have now.

I saw that bag the other day too... and am itching to make one for myself! Yours is a beauty! :-0
I love that bag, Ginger! I was thinking of making one for myself, but I didn't have the bright colors. Guess I'll have to go buy some...Yours turned out so pretty...great job!
What neat handbag and the dyed wool yarn is beautiful. Great work. LenZie
