Quick post!

I’ve finally finished a beach bag I’ve been working on for ages!!! A good friend is off to Dubai for her holiday on Tuesday and it’s her birthday tomorrow, originally I had offered to make her a beach cover up using James c Brett noodle.

I completed one for my daughter first and to be honest I didn’t like it, it wasn’t the best yarn to use, and I didn’t want to go to too much effort in making it if my friend wasn’t going to use it.  James c Brett noodle has a tubular feel to it, but when crocheted it’s quite sturdy, so I thought I’d make her a beach bag instead, I think she’ll get more use out if it and it’s a better use for the yarn, she chose orange…….anyway I’ve finally finished all 102 rounds! I’m pleased with it, there’s the odd blemish where the end of the noodle is visible but only a little, I don’t care anyway it adds to the character of the bag, that’s my excuse anyway!!!

I’ve stitched a popper/press stud sin yo the top so it closes easily and some nice clear handles, I quite pleased with it actually!

Now let’s hope she likes it!!!

My yarn arrived for sue pinners carousel blanket, hubby was in the car with my as yodel were driving out of the close, he said ‘what the bloody hell gave you ordered now?!’ I denied all knowledge, luckily I’ve trained my daughter well and she took the parcel and stashed for me 😂 it’ll stay there until 13th September!

I’m not 100% sure if the colours, but hopefully it will turn out as it looks on the advertisement for it!
Happy hooking X
