Have a look here for a great pattern from Lucy, it's easy to follow too: http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/crochet-bag.html<br />Kandi xKandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05765946096687063480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3592333636238116659.post-83204307559715091772010-08-26T17:12:46.098+01:002010-08-26T17:12:46.098+01:00Gorgeous colours you've used there!
