Hooked :)

Are you hooked on Crochet?

I'd like to give it a whirl.....

I had this fun Crobots book on my wish list

since the Christmas before last.

Yes....I've owned it for more than a year now.

Don't judge......:)

Still no cute crocheted robots,

but I'm confident that one day I'll get it done :)

In the meantime I made this fun Crochet Clutch

and you can find the free pattern 

from the Moda Bakeshop  HERE.

I used store bought double wide binding 

instead of making my own like the pattern suggests.

On the pattern, there was no mention of how to round

the corners on the bottom of the bag

so I used the cap to one of my large vitamin bottles

as a guide.

Also, there was no mention on how wide to stitch

the channels for the crochet hooks

so I came in 1 1/2" on each side 

and then 1" intervals in between.

It's a cool pattern and I love the zipper pocket

at the bottom and the clear plastic so you can see

what you've got in there :)

I chose not to make the optional  handle

and I used velcro instead of the magnetic closure

because I didn't have one in my stash :)

I'm happy with the way it came out

and I appreciate the talented women who share their

skills with the rest of us!
