Green and Yellow Drawstring Bag

Another drawstring bag along the basic lines of the other drawstring bags (Ya, I'm on a bit of a easy cute things kick), except this one has rows of fillet crochet and it alternates between green and blue Lion Brand Hometown USA yarn (seriously, I want a commission :P), and the bottom is a square. It was originally going to be a macrame-type container for an origami box made from not-quite-cardstock scrapbooking paper.

I love projects that can be made using the gray hook, the kind that sometimes comes with a bigger blue hook. I'm not sure what letter it is.






What do you think, should I add a gauzy (white, probably) fabric to line the inside so it's better able to hold small things like coins that fall to the bottom of one's bag?

Warm Colors Drawstring Bag

This one was really quick to make so I didn't take pictures mid-project. I used the same basic pattern as with my other drawstring bags, except this one was done with three yearns--red, orange, and yellow Red Heart Super Saver yarn--at once.

Drawstring Bag - Finished!

The whole thing used the entire skein of "Marble" yarn. After I finished the main part of the bag, I chained the rest. I tried chaining that chain, but the result was too short, and I wound up folding it in half and tying knots roughly every six inches to make the handle.

What do you think?

New Project - Drawstring Bag

About halfway done here:

No real pattern to it, just made a circle and after five rounds I quit expanding. Three or four rows from the top there'll be a space every three stitches for the rope handle drawstring to go through. :)

Then yarn is Lion Brand Tweed Stripes, but is identical in feel and style to the Marble Yarn. (In fact, I got a skein of yarn identical to that marble yarn so I'm guessing they're from the same manufacturer and just called different things in different countries. :)
