I finally had time and the eyesight for a small project.
I had a whole bunch of odds and ends of yarn. I was NOT going to throw them away...but I had been carting them around for some time using them as starts for the crochet bags. The last 8 bags got their starts...and it was time to move along! ( Now I should not buy any more bags at Hobby Lobby or any more zippers at garage sales!) See the stitching along the top edge of the bag...that is a start! Once the start stitches are in place you crochet off of them:)
I joined up all the yarn. Tedious work...I wound it into a ball and just guessed that I would have enough to complete the project.
I was about a yard short so I just added from a small ball that I had on hand.
I will probably keep this bag for myself.
I watched A Man Called Otto while I crochet this bag...I liked the book A Man Called Ove much better than the movie.
Far Side
Glad your eye has finally healed enough you can work on your projects again. And nice way to use up odds and ends of yarn.
ReplyDeleteI loved the original Swedish version of the movie, A Man Called Ove. It had subtitles, so I had to pay attention and NOT crochet while watching. I don't know if I'll watch the Tom Hanks version, as I don't want to spoil the magic from the first one.
ReplyDeleteCute bag!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the book but I watched the Swedish version with subtitles and the American version (A Man Called Ove) and enjoyed them both. :)
I watched the movie too. The book was better, but I love Tom Hanks in just about anything he does. :-)
ReplyDeleteNicely done. I am glad you got it done!
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed the original movie from the book - A Man Called Ove. Generally we watch the original foreign film and skip the American versions.
ReplyDeleteVery cute bag! I wondered if the "Otto" movie would be as good as the "Ove" book. I've read the book but not seen any of the movies.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that was how these bags are made. How clever is that!!! I haven't read the book but did enjoy the movie. Usually I like the books better than the movies.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use up all those bits!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear your eye is healing and you are able to to your crafts again. I suspect you need something in your hands while you watch a program.
ReplyDeleteThe American take of A MAN CALLED OVE (Called a Man Called Otto, with Tom Hanks) is pretty shallow compared to the book and to the Swedish movie. You have to read subtitles but it is all worth it and follows the book pretty much exactly!
ReplyDeleteI loved reading Ove, so I avoided the movie. It’s satisfying to use up every bit of scrap yarn for a project. The bag looks great.
ReplyDeleteI also saw the Swedish film of A Man Called One. It was a very good movie. Good work on the bag.
ReplyDeleteI think these bags are just adorable. I hope your eye is feeling much better. What a bother!
ReplyDeleteHow do you join the yarn. Do you tie it?
ReplyDeleteI would like to see that movie. I like Tom Hanks.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to hear that you are getting better.
ReplyDeleteKeeping the last bag has meaningful significance.
I saw the movie just last weekend and liked it, but it was a bit too sad. I liked the book very much.
Wonderful little bag from leftovers.
ReplyDeleteWell you're back crocheting so I hope that means that your eye is doing a bit better. Cute bag you made....everything you do turns out terrific!
ReplyDeleteI have neither read the book nor watched the movie. Sounds like I maybe should do that.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're feeling better.
I haven't decided if I'm going to watch the movie. I love Tom Hanks though...
ReplyDeleteI have neither seen the movie or read the book. I generally find movie adaptations disappointing if I've already read the book. And, I don't think I would have the patience for that kind of crochet project, but it's another example of the wonderful crochet work you do.
ReplyDeleteI think I will put that book on my list!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use up those odds and ends! It's so pretty!!!
