kerravonsenThis morning I finished crocheting the purple tote-bag. It is going to be given to Someone for Christmas, yes it is.
I have also been making soap savers. Which will also be for Christmas. With luscious herbal/organic soap inside. The difficult part now is figuring out who gets what.
I love crochet!

the tote bag is a gorgeous colour
Thank you! It's done with two strands of nylon knitting yarn, one purple, one lavender. I discovered when experimenting with the soap savers that if one uses two strands together, the result is quite stiff; hence we have the tote bag that can stand up on its own.
I'm pondering whether to make a fruit basket in a similar manner, but I'm not sure if anyone would really find a fruit basket useful.

Yep, still not a republic. ;-)

What size are they?
The coins are there to hopefully give an indication of scale.
The bag is an interesting shape too.
The bag was a combination of a few different patterns. I wasn't entirely sure how it would turn out.
