my darling daria Sunday again, and here's an update of my current non-knitting crafty pursuit, crochet.
The crocheted daria sophie bag all done! Shannon helped me pick out the zipper this afternoon. Crochet Claire from the Knitsmiths helped me sew in the strap during knitting group. And voila, she's finished with a little help from my friends. I do love this Noro Daria yarn. The colors are so incredible. And you know what just occurred to me while I was crocheting the last few rounds?.... Pool-knitalongers, are you listening?.... I think you could pool this yarn to make stripes! If I could only think of something I could do with a six inch wide strap of stripey cord yarn. Update: Now that I'm dressed, I can show you a picture of me modeling the bag!

Love the purse! I've been wanting to make one *exactly* like that since I saw the Noro Daria. It looks just like one of 'The Sak' bags that I love!

Posted by: monica at August 16, 2004 9:26 AMCute! Posted by: Kat at August 16, 2004 9:35 AMIt is possible to get stripes, or near stripes, with this yarn. I'll have to post a picture of my stripey coin purse. Quite unexpected. Posted by: michelle at August 16, 2004 10:32 AMOOh, and just this weekend I was like I need to make a couple guitar straps! What a perfect yarn and idea for that :) Posted by: Amy at August 16, 2004 11:06 AMThe bag looks great! And hey...I'm almost done with my LD-along...she's a-blockin'! Posted by: Eklectika at August 16, 2004 1:25 PMLooks great Alison! You could make several 6" wide blocks and sew them together to make another purse.

Posted by: Jackie at August 16, 2004 2:13 PMLove the bag. You are giving me some needed inspiration! Posted by: Lisa at August 16, 2004 3:36 PMGuitar straps!

I love the colors, and the crochet was doner wonderfully! Posted by: cylynne at August 16, 2004 9:50 PMNeato, Michelle! Can't wait to see. Guitar straps sound cool.
