Lately, I've been fascinated by crocheted bags and purses. Last year I went through a phase of shawl crocheting so much so that I made 12 shawls last year and they were all different.I guess I got burned out on shawl making. Ha! I decided I wanted to make a market bag that I saw on Ravelry. The pattern called for cotton yarn and I knew I had lot's left from when I made soap bags so I just picked out the colors I thought would look good together. I wanted it to be two sided so that's why I made front and back are different. I was thinking about my daughter in law when I saw the pattern because she and my son were moving to Germany for 3 years. I thought a market bag would be perfect for when they would go shopping in the surrounding villages. Pattern looked was quite easy to make and the size was big and perfect for many. I made it during a weekend and right before they left. I diffinately have to make one for myself
