My Projects: Yellow Fat Bottom Bag with Cherries

 I started this yellow crochet Fat Bottom Bag late last Summer. I put it down for awhile to work on Fall and Winter items and have finally picked it up again. Now it's finally finished!

 I crocheted cherries to decorate the front. If you remember what I was going to use for the lining, you will see why I couldn't help myself.

Close up of the bamboo handles. Purchased in the Garment District. 

Here's the lining! Remnant fabric from this project. Can't wait for Summer to wear these together.

My Projects: Ombre and Cherry Red Fingerless Gloves

I've recently finished some more crocheted Fingerless Gloves with Bows for my Etsy shop; The Sparkling Cocktail! I've made quite a few of these and I really enjoy playing with different color combinations.

For these I created an ombre effect by using three different colors of yarn as opposed to ombre yarn; which never really gives a true ombre effect, in my opinion.  As you know I love these heather tweed yarns and with this effect they are really fun. What do you think? 

These ombre gloves are available here. 

Red is my favorite color and I haven't listed many solid colors of these, so here is a red pair! Made of Merino wool they are soft and fun for the upcoming winter and holiday season! 

These red gloves are available in my Etsy shop here. 

What do you prefer? Solid or ombre? What colors would you like? 

My Projects: Yellow Fat Bottom Bag

I've been working on this crocheted fat bottom bag. You may remember my Tweed Fat Bottom Bag from a year ago.   I've decided to give this pattern another go. This time in a yellow pima cotton yarn. 

I'm loving this sunny yellow! The yarn is Knit Picks Comfy Worsted in Creme Brulee. 

I'm also going to line this version with remnants from my Fruity Peasant Blouse. It will add such a nice happy interior surprise! I still haven't decided on the handle but I am leaning towards a light bamboo wooden round handle. What do you think? Any suggestions? 

What knitting or crochet projects are you working on this Summer?
