Me and my Bag

Me and my bag...don't we look jaunty? Colourful and homespun? Happy for the day ahead?
Yeah, too right, it's Thursday and I'm just off out the door in ten minutes to walk up into town to my favourite cafe for a couple hours cappuccino-drinking-hexagon-hooking-natty-nattering. Have I told you before how much of a buzz I get waking up knowing it's Thursday? Yes, I suppose I have told you on numerous occasions, I suppose by now you are getting to know me and my life quite well eh?

I spent a humungous amount of time yesterday sat at the pc, typing and crocheting and counting and puzzling and photographing this delicious bag of mine, writing out the how-to for it. I've just proof-read it and I think it's all correct and makes sense :: so for those of you who wish to give it a whirl, the pattern/tutorial can be found over to the left there, down at the bottom listed as a page. I could not get to the flowers, I was sooooo tired by the end of it I couldn't do any more, so the how-to for the little flowers and leaves will follow next week.

And to those of you who do not crochet, please forgive the extreme crochet-ness of my blog this week, something un-hooky will come tomorrow.

Right, I am late for Knit and Natter, dashing out the door now, byeeee, toodle-oo, see you all tomorrow

Hope you had a wonderful Thursday. Looking forward to giving your bag pattern a try one day. You don't need to apologize for anything, your blog is pure loveliness. :~)

This is amazingly beautiful. Thanks for posting a tutorial. I'm newly addicted to the hooks and am putting this on my list of projects.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that bag! I hope you will have it with you at Country Living next week. I sooo wish I could have given you a ticket but they are not valid for the Saturday (don't know why?) - your blog is sooo inspiring and gorgeous! I am determined to learn to crochet - it is my 2009 resolution! Kathyx

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[Ali]

Oh the gorgeousness. I really must learn to crochet.

[mandy]

I have enjoyed all the crochet this week, well done you for doing all that! I am still doing granny squares, and look forward to learning how to do the flowers, when you have the time of course, I think I could manage some of those to add to some little gifts,they would look pretty. hope you enjoyed the morning at knit and natter :)

[Lace hearts]

That's fantastic of you to do that - I know that must have taken a long time. I'm planning to try and make one, once I've finished my crochet blanket! I love the picture of you pre dashing out.

[Danette]

Wow, thanks for all the how-tos. I have been admiring your bags in many of your photos.

Can't wait to try it out.

Thanks for sharing.

[Fiona]

Despite not being able to crochet I love the amount of crochet talk this week. Just admiring all your crochet is nearly as good as being able to crochet myself. Well, nearly. It's making me want to crochet anyway. Hope you enjoyed your Thursday crochet session.

[julie]

Merci beaucoup for the pattern. Have a good day.

[Rachel]

That is beautiful! SO happy!

[Cynthia]

Yes indeed, a very colorful bag for a very colorful person. Have fun at the cafe! Love your blog.

[karen smith]

wow how cool is that bag and how jealous am I because no matter how hard i try I just can not crochet. I guess I'll just have to stick with my knitting.
Your a ver talented lady and I'm sure I'll be back to haunt you regularly lol

Hi Lucy.
I was talking about you at my crochet class on Tuesday as I took my jampot cover in. I managed to get photos of your hexagons and the bag up on my iphone and we are gagging to have a go!
You're a crochet star! Hope you enjoyed your day. Wish I was not miles away so I could join in.

I want to come to Knit and Natter too! I really do! I have quite a bit of leftover yarn from my ripple blankets so maybe I will try making your bag. I really love the homey and cozy look. Thank you for sharing your pattern, Lucy. And may I say, you look very cute today in your outfit.

[Georganna]

Oh thanks so much for the pattern! I really need a bag for wagging around my knitting and crochet and haven't been able to find any I like, so I'm making one like yours asap.

OOOhhhh more things to make with a crochet hook and some scrummy wool.... thank you for all the info you are a star!

[simone]

Hope you enjoyed your knit and natter. Whilst you were there I was at my art class, painting and drinking coffee and I also get a buzz out of Thursday mornings for the same reason! I really like the bag. I think I may tackle this rather than the hexagons. I hate joining things together!!!

[Anne]

Your bag is to die for - I absolutely love it and thank you for the pattern. You are such a generous talented person. I am so fortunate to have found your blog. Thanks again.

[Katy]
