Hello everyone! :)
I’ve got something awesome to share with you all. I made another squares bag, this time with Scheepjes Softfun Batik yarn; and I will be sharing how to make this bag, this week on the blog! :)
Let’s take a closer look, shall we?
Update: The pattern is now online: how to crochet the squares bag!
Update: The how-to for the lining is now online: how to line the squares bag!
How groovy is that button? I really love the fact that it’s square; it’s the perfect square button for my squares bag :)
I also found the perfect colourful lining to put in this colourful bag:
Right? This fabric is so cool! :)
This week will be all about this bag on my blog. Today is the tadah post; Wednesday I will show you (in a photo tutorial) how to crochet this bag; and Friday I’ll show you (also with a photo tutorial) how to line the bag.

I’m very curious about the lining :) I’ve made a bag myself a couple of years ago ( http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/3641/0rnt.jpg ). I was still using it up untill a few months back, then a bowl of ‘Herman the friendly yeast’ was spilled inside it and even after washing that yeasty smell was still present… Too bad!

That is such a shame because it really was a lovely bag!

I’ve just discovered your blog and… that’s absolutely fabulous ! The only thing I need now is to ameliorate my crocheting because i’m a beginner. I love this bag, I want one !

Droooooooling, can’t wait, don’t think I’ll get that yarn here, any recommendations on a substitute yarn?
October 1, 2013 at 3:52 pm
Any cotton/acrylic/blend will do; as long as it works up with a 4mm or 5mm hook :)

Yours is the first blog that I signed up to follow. I link to other blogs on occasion when I am looking for knitting and crochet patterns and new techniques, but I’ve never ‘followed’ before. I can not tell you how much I am enjoying your posts!! You have some of the most delightful items, patterns and color combinations! Thank you for the joy you give to me each time I open your email. Your blog installments are often the brightest spots in my dreary work day.

Thank you so much Christine! :) That really means a lot to me. I’m so happy that you like my blog!
