I wish I'd gotten this up sooner (I'd planned on being first this time!) but, true to form instead of picking something quick and easy so I can "win" I went ahead and picked a challenge which I had to restart because I ran out of yarn the first time around and had to go out and buy something else. LOL
The crochet part of this is finished, though once I have time to actually to go to a store and look at fabric, I'll line it. I used the graph from
this knitting pattern and crocheted the bag in the round using single crochet, size 3 cotton thread and a size 0 steel hook (or you can use a size E hook since they're both 3.25mm (I think that's right might be 3.5), I just don't have an E). Because the size 3 thread is so small I went back up to the strap and added 3 more rows of half-double crochet to give it a bit more thickness.
