I participated in the recent swap at Granny Along, and this is what I made for my partner, Becky. I finished it on my deadline date, but had to wait until she received the package. I have posted more information about the swap package on my blog.
I crocheted a granny square bag, which I call the "Polka Dot Surprise" Bag. You will soon see why.
The bag says: I am so fashionable!
Bag again, against bamboo blinds at my parents' home
Polka Dot Surprise!: Bright pink (almost red) polka dot fabric lining. I must admit that I am not a "polka dot person", but I really like its "fun-aspect" contribution to this project.
I used cotton twine bought at our local hardware store in NYC. I enjoyed making this bag (my mom and grandma have put in a request too). However next time, I will remember to wear gloves while working with such "fiber". I originally began the bag with jute twine, but this fiber gave me the sneezes.
I know what you mean about the 'jute sneezes'... I knitted a gardening bag out of jute a few weeks ago, love the results... but there was certainly some sneezing along the way!
