YAY!

I have finally finished my first crochet bag, thanks to Lucy's (attic24) fabulous instructions. It didn't take nearly as long as I had thought it would, and also it was a real doddle. Thank you Lucy, couldn't have done it without you. It was a real pleasure making this, and it is now sitting on the armchair, filled with all my deliciously pink and fluffety mohair yarns.

This is the front of the bag -


And this is the back of the bag -


I am really quite happy with the way it has turned out, and I'll treasure it for many years to come. It will look great in France, sitting in a corner of the settee, which will be adorned with the granny square blanket, of course.
