Hello, again! This month's post is scrap-busting bags. I made these for my son's toys: a set of puzzle mats and stacking blocks. They were originally in the same plastic zip bag, but that did not work for our space, so I changed it.
Originally, I had used these yarn colors for school pride warmth sets in Washington state. I made matching hats, scarves, and fingerless mitts for one of the local high schools where we lived. Since we have moved from that area I don't really need these colors specifically. Personally, I think they made great color options.
The first bag I made was the green, gold, and silver spiral bag on the right. I really enjoyed playing with this pattern, even though it did not turn out quite how I was expecting. (The top is rippled and it's supposed to be flat, but that's the nature of experimenting. The next one will be better.)
Second up was the blue and green bag. I had used a similar concept to make library bags for my niece and nephew. This variation has a top flap (the experimental part) as well as a shoulder strap instead of handles. In the top flap I alternated single crochet stitches and attempted to make a mini-checkered pattern. I think it turned out pretty good overall.
Top: the bags as completed.
Bottom: the bags with a sample of their contents. (The rooster does come apart and is a puzzle.)
I hope you enjoyed these bags and found them to be an inspiration. I enjoyed making them.
Blessings and Peace!
