A friend of mine went to a TJ Maxx store the other day, saw this beautiful bag, and knowing how much I love crocheting sent me this pic.
This bag is made in a technique called free form crochet. Some people compare free form crocheting with painting, where instead of brushes and paint, hooks and yarn are used. Finished projects can be abstract or realistic. So this bag would be an example of realistic free form. I will write about abstract projects in a later post, when I actually make something using it ;).
Most of the time free form projects are original designs, done without a pattern. Remember the “flower class” we had few months back? That could be the continuation of it. There is nothing more to it than making different flowers in a similar color pallet, connecting them together, crocheting bottom and the top, handles, and lining the bag. I am looking forward to this challenge. Too bad the summer is almost over… no more flowers. How do you feel about snowflakes for this type of bag?
