Back from my Hiatus!

I haven't been very active in the blog department recently. I am hoping to change that.
I participated in a 'Crochet Along', Yarnspirations and The Crochet Crowd hosted. It was a Mystery Afghan. We had no idea what the design or pattern was going to be from week to week. Over the course of 10 weeks we were given instructions. It was a lot of fun not knowing what the end result would be. I plan on making a separate post about the experience in another blog. It's on my growing list of  'to-do'. 


I also participated in a shawl challenge. I made the 'Yes Yes Shawl' and absolutely love it. I am in the process of making one for a loyal customer.

I am also working on a crochet bag. It's made out of squares sewn together to make a bag. A customer sent me the pin for the bag, see it here on Pinterest and the pattern here on Ravelry
She really loved the picture that was pinned, the flower square is beautiful (for the lack of a better word). So I searched the internet for a nice flower pattern. I settled on this one

Following the pattern of  Inga's bag I will make the 16 squares and attach them. I do plan on adding a fabric lining, so that will be challenging. I haven't added a fabric lining to anything crocheted before. I plan on documenting the process. So positive vibes it turns out. 

I wanted to get this posted before I get off the computer and start on my next cleaning project. Oh, how I love Spring! 


Happy Creating!!  ~ Amanda
