Crochet Drawstring Bag as Weekend Timepass

   It's weekend here, and I am enjoying it! Me and my D didn't do much today, just were roaming here and there in the house, eating, talking, noticing that the days have become colder... Oh yes, one useful thing we actually did today was yarn shopping :) There were many stores opened today as we went there earlier than usually. I needed to refill my baby blanket yarn stock, otherwise the process has been put on hold for a while. Now I am ready to make a second half of the blanket. I also purchased few more colours of another acrylic yarn.  When the shopping was done I did what I wanted to do for long time - take photos of the Indian yarn market! Do you like these colourful stalls? I do!
  Well, besides a very pleasant shopping, I managed to complete a small crochet project, which I started yesterday evening and it was ready by today's afternoon - all in between of eating, watching TV and doing some other deals:) Please, meet a drawstring bag. To tell the truth, I was not planning for the drawstring bag particularly  but wanted to make a purse, using amigurumi technique.Then I left this idea and thought of making a bag for a wine bottle, when finally got a bag. Don't ask me how :)
   I used lace for the purpose of pulling the edges together, any crocheted chain can be applied for the same. It could be a nice package for gifts or can be given as a gift itself. Mmmm... I am already thinking to make the drawstring bag in different colours and sizes!
 The bag, I suppose, is just perfect for storing any small things! I already used it for keeping numerous accessories like bracelets and hair clips.
 Hope you all having a lovely weekend! Thanks for all your sweet, encouraging comments on the last and previous posts:)

  1. How nice to see the yarn stalls in your area. We have one craft store here where I buy my yarn. Also, near the coops, they usually have small stores for yarn, ribbons, buttons, hair accessories so I get my cotton yarn from there. Your drawstring bag turned out really cute and is great for gift giving. Best wishes, Tammy
