Loosely based on this pattern for making a shopping bag, and borrowing from this pattern on Ravelry for a hexagon blanket, a new project bag was born.
See the toy ferret and bunny rabbit? Those belong to The Amazing Therapy Dog Libby, but I actually plan on filling it with a sweater project and swapping yarn for the toys. Its strap is a knitted icord, and the bag itself is two pieces of coordinating fabrics sewn back to back, folded in half, and seamed together.
Several weeks ago, I was making hexagons from sock yarn, but did not have enough sock yarn scraps to make an actual blanket. Instead of chucking the project, I used the 20 multi-colored hexagons as decoration for the bag front. Bling was added in the form of buttons and charms.
The little sheep buttons in the middle of a couple of hexagons make me smile.
