#ReusewithKrafttime Day 5 - Crochet drawstring pouch

Hey there!
It is Day 5 already with #reusewithkrafttime "Use your Stash" challenge. Happy Ganesh Chaturthi to all and more importantly, Happy teachers day to all the lovely teachers out there. 

Today I am sharing a crocheted bag that started off as a table mat. Haha, I did this a couple of years ago and left it without finishing. So I took up my crochet needle and sat down to finish this when I thought, it could serve better as a drawstring pouch. So just added the final layer that was incomplete and added golden ribbon for the drawstring.

Basket Weave Stitch Pouch WIth Puff Stitch Flower

Hi all,
Today I finished crocheting something that I did after learning two new stitches. The Basket weave stitch and the puff stitch. There are lots of tutorials to demo this and I must say the basket weave stitch is super cool. It has a beautiful texture and makes your material strong.
The puff stitch flower is a cute little flower that I had created separately. But since the colors complemented each other I added it. The button is also made out of a simple stitch base that is used to start all flowers.

Here is what it looks like.
Hope all of you like it :)

Happy crafting :)

Crochet Granny Square Bags

Hi all,
I have been trying to find time to crochet but somehow time seems to elude me :( sob, sob...

But somehow i crocheted these beautiful granny squares on train travel to my office. There were just 6 pieces done and I converted 4 of them into small granny bags. These are great for gifting to someone. You could just pop something in, a candy, a heart, some small message etc and send it to them :)

It is also a cute way of storing your itty bitty lipsticks, balms clips etc in your purse. :)

Here are some pics. Hope you enjoy them. The pattern is a traditional square granny pattern thaat I found online. Millions of tutorials available for these :)

Happy crochetting :)
