Hi everyone!
Last weekend I saw Toto perform live in Amsterdam, and it was awesome! Seriously guys, that band has been around for 35 years now and they still kick so much booty; if they perform anywhere near you I highly recommend you go and check them out.
But anyway, because the concert was in Amsterdam and I live a couple of hours away, I stayed over at my dad’s place (he lives a lot closer). My dad’s girlfriend is crocheting like a mad-women these days, and she is all about the amigurumis. Check out what she gave me right before I went home!



Coolest. Cow. Ever. How adorably cute are those udders? And she’s mooching on some grass, just minder her own business, while hanging out with a milk can :) Thanks Ella, I love her!
I’m currently working on another Noro bag. No, I don’t swim in cash; I just had all these squares left over from the last Noro bag I made ;) Together they formed the perfect eclectic mix of colours, and with 17 squares this bag is slightly smaller than the other one (which had 24 squares). I will embellish and beautify this bag like I did before; this is what it looks like right now.


I’m planning on doing an elaborate tutorial on how to make the squares, how to crochet them together, and how to add a lining. If you’re interested in reading about that, of course :)
I’m off working on that and all my other WIPs while checking out this month’s Simply Crochet; did you spot my interview? :)

Would love to see a tutorial for this bag. Just working out if I can justify buying more yarn! Have a good weekend.

That cow + is AMAZING! So cute, and the grass is just the extra touch that makes it so wonderful. Where can we see more of her work?
I loved your first bag, and I would love to see a tutorial some day.

Hi there I am Angela from Oklahoma. I just finished bag made just like this in a crochet a long on Facebook! I love the ridges around each square I thought I was doing mine wrong, I was told to go through back loops when joining them, Ill do it on my next bag with prettier colors and see the differences. I am a beginner crocheter. Need all the tips and tricks I can find. Love how it turned out! Since it was a mystery crochet a long I had no idea what I was making so I chose two colors I dont use a lot orange and black, had I seen yours first and seen how cute it could be with prettier yarn I would have went shopping for yarn! LOL! Love this bag! This is my first time to your blog i came here via a Facebook posting about your adorable cow! I haven’t looked but hoping you have a follower button so I am staying informed of your projects! :D Happy Hooking! Come see me at my blog if you want… http://www.tastecraftiness.blogspot.com

The cow is and your bag are just gorgeous. I always thought that Noro yarn looked better knitted, but your crocheting of it has changed my mind, congratulations!
