Cat and Elephant bags

I thought of making these shapes of bags for teenagers. The pictures I have are a little too big, I reckon, so I think that they are good for adults especially the tote bag. I am making another different one I think it won't be for teenagers either. I think it will be the same size as the cat's bag. I am enjoying making them. I still have to come up with the right measurements though. I wanted to introduce another colour in the back ground but I changed my mind. You do use a lot of yarn for making these bags but the result is amazing. Here are the pictures of the bags.

Another Wayuu, Mochilla bag

I love making these bags there is not much sewing involved. It is the same colours as my other one but different pattern. These bags seems more complicated then they really are but the result is amazing. I made different cord and I am getting better at making tinsels. I also made the straps a little wider. I will try and sell this bag on etsy it is made as a bag pack so more useful. This pattern could be much simpler but I always wants to see how it turns out first the I can change it if I like. most likely I will make another different pattern. It gives me such satisfaction when I see it all done. Well here is my bag.

Crochet girl blanket

I didn't want to make a blanket I actually wanted to make a poncho for a little girl. I picked the squares I liked and started. After I made some squares I didn' t think these kind of squares suited a poncho.  Serves me right because I should plan these things but instead I get an idea in my head and go along with it. After I had nine squares I thought I make it for the pram or bassinet. I also made a boarder to make it a little bigger. It turned out ok I guess hopefully I learnt my lesson to plan before I start doing something.
