Beach Ready

Bags have been big in my list over the
past year. This one is made with double stranded Peaches and Cream cotton yarn and stuffed full of beach toys for my granddaughter.

I think I got the idea from looking at market bags online and just loved the oceany colors in these skeins. I never even looked up a pattern for it. I just started a basic hat type pattern and rounded it out until it was wide enough for me, and, of course, changed the type of stitches to accommodate the open net look.

Many years ago, I was outside playing kickball with the neighborhood kids. My grandmother called me inside and quickly informed me that "Young ladies do not play with boys!". And she sat me down beside her and taught me my first set of crochet stitches. I do not recall my age, exactly, but do remember I was still in my single digits. Today I am very much grateful for her passing this skill down to me. It has saved my life in so many ways. I have used it as physical and emotional therapy more times than I can count...
