Pouch style bag


A couple of weeks ago I decided to use some of my scraps to test different placement of increases on this style of bag.. 
I grabbed some shawl-in-a-ball I had sitting around.. I only had enough to make a little bit larger than a pouch size bag,.. 
In the end I decided I do have the increases I like best.. lol 
However I have been looking for different methods of making straps for my yarn bags .. went a braided one  .. love it., easy to adjust thickness and length, stretch is not a big issue, good stash buster, comfortable to carry and sturdy 

I had some left over bamboo yarn that I've been holding on to for ages .. mixed it with a cotton blend..
They paired up beautifully 



I finished it and set it aside ... not wanting to put a liner in.....  because the inside was just so soft and absolutely gorgeous.. it feels so luxurious I cannot think of a liner that would make it better 




At the moment I am working on denim cuffs from yet another scrap bag..  

I tend to end up working on a few at a time.. start with one.. think I should try this or that but doesn't work with the one I am working on so another one needs to be started.. and so on.......


  decided to pull out my crochet threads and make a bunch of different things I could add on as I went along..  you can see a few examples on the cuffs ... one pattern lead to another I have wanted to try in thread.. and so on ......
This will have to be it's own post lol 


Which is how I ended up working on the bag again in the middle of working on the cuffs.. 

As you can see in the first photo I added a few thread accents to the bag... and still no liner  lol
