I think that Fridays are my favourite day of the week. Work is over, the weekend is stretching out in front of me, full of possibility, and there is nothing that ‘has’ to be done other than self imposed things like posting a blog post! When looking through my collection of ideas that I go to when I need inspiration I realised that I have collected a large number of links to crochet market bags. I have yet to make one, but love the concept, and, once I have finished the ripple afghan (soon, I promise, soon!) I intend to make a couple. I have made a crochet beach bag as a gift for my sister, and loved the process, so think that market bags would be similarly delightful.
On a cold and blustery day, curling up on the couch and crocheting away is so appealing… To assist, here is my list!

Thanks for featuring us, Teresa. I take it that a (couple of) market bags are on your project list to make?! Best not to make it too big as holey work tends to stretch a lot and you don’t want your bag to end up on your knees. ha ha… + use lighter-weight yarn (that’s nonetheless strong). Big holes are fine for market bags as a lettuce won’t fall through even the biggest crochet holes… 😉
Thanks for the tips!!
Very sensible advice Rose! Thanks!
