Blogs From Other Crocheters

Was looking at my Crochet board on
Pinterest
and saw these two pot holders
from
Knot Garden Blog

I always enjoyed reading her
blog which abruptly
stopped in December of 2010.

Repurposing Sweaters

Now that the weather is cooling down

Fun Knitting Project

I went to the local library
and picked up a few knitting books.
I was inspired to make this drawstring bag
from Emma King's
Fun & Funky Knitting book.
Minty is the name of the pattern.
I didn't follow it completely though.
I made my bag drawstring instead.

These are the supplies I used for this project...

I used
I Love This Cotton from Hobby Lobby
The finished project
is very soft.

My older iPhone 3GS
fits nicely inside the bag.

I did crochet the ends of the drawstring.
