A friend brought more bags to me this week. It's always fun to see an assortment of bags all at once. There was one Target bag for my shopping bag which was pending more bags. That one bag is cut, tied together into plarn and crocheted into the bag already. One bag doesn't even go halfway around a shopping bag. Well, the bag is just over 7 inches tall, so it's big to hold skeins of yarn for the nativity sets I'm making. So it's useful even while it's pending.There were also 2 large and 4 regular sized Big Lots bags. They work into a white bag with orange and black spots. Perfect for October. I like the big bags. They make longer loops, which means fewer knots to crochet around. I'm making a shoulder bag with them. After crocheting these bags into it, I have it 5 1/2 inches tall. I like shoulder bags to be 9 to 10 inches deep, so I need a few more.
There were various other bags of colors I'm not currently making into anything, so they'll go into piles until I have 10 of a color to cut and roll. I like to make balls of plarn of 10 bags. That's a good size. Not too big to hold while rolling, and big enough that I'm not stopping all the time to tie on a new ball.
I like calling some projects pending. Really, there's no progress on a project while I'm waiting on more bags for plarn. Having fewer WIP makes me feel that I'm making better progress on them. Am I just fooling myself?
This is a shoulder bag, already finished it. It's made of Target bags, just to let you see how my shopping bag will look. And another baby blanket, WIP.
