Well I'm stuck at home, and the postie very graciously delivered a parcel of great fabrics from Fiddlesticks Fabrics and Crafts this lunchtime. The parcel included this lovely piece, which I have literally just finished converting into this first Christmas 2007 present!
I'm so pleased with it - hence the large number of photos. :-)
This is a big carry-all type affair, reaching down to the hip.
I followed this free crochet hobo bag pattern and used 500g of Rowan Linen Drape from my stash, a large button from Truro Fabrics, and the lining fabric as before.
Thank goodness the yarn wasn't full price otherwise it would have cost almost £40 to make.
That's the first present crossed off the list for this year!

The bag is really beautiful, and also big enough that even my handbag stuff (e.g. half of my household) would fit in it! Nice work, the person who gets this on christmas day will surely be thrilled!
Beautiful! I do love a good-sized tote bag. :) The colors are fantastic.
