XP: Latest crochet project (PIP)
I actually finished this probably a month ago but didn't get around to photographing it until yesterday. It's the 8-pocket tote from the LionBrand website. Definitely has some imperfections, but that's just proof that it's homemade, right? 
Now to learn how to add a lining....

I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball


Re: XP: Latest crochet project (PIP)
Wow, that is amazing!
You're really talented (and fast!) :-)
Love it.
To be honest, I haven't actually used it yet
It's sort of floppy, as you might imagine. Not stretchy per se, just not stiff. Once I add a lining I think it will maintain it's shape more.
I think it depends on the yarn and if you put a lining in it or not - I made a tote using cotton yarn and it stretched A LOT - But I made another and lined it and it looked spectacular.
::sigh:: I really need to get back into my crocheting and knitting

If I take a break for a while it always feels so good to get back into it when I start a new project.
I found a couple of tutorials online about how to sew a lining into the bag, but if you have others to point me to I'd happily take the advice!
