The "Bagsket" is Born!

This is a "Bagsket"!
Being a beginner blogger I’m always looking for something new.  New ways to share my posts, new places to see what others are doing, new ideas to keep my pages interesting and fun.  While roaming around on Ravelry I discovered a group called The Blog Hub.  I went in to look about and was thrilled to discover a bounty of blogging buddies (well we’re not buddies yet, but I’m hopeful that I’ll be making some new friends!)  Anyway, in addition to the list of member blogs, I scoped out two threads of interest.  WIP Wednesday and FO Friday.  How very cool indeed!

And so today, I have this FO to share.  May I present the Striped “Bagsket”.  The original pattern that I was working from was for the Striped Marly Bag.  Since it was a bag I didn’t bother with a gauge swatch. I figured how big could it be??  Well pretty big it turns out. And then there was the yarn problem.  Turns out I didn’t have enough to do the stripes in the correct configuration.  So I went with what I had and when I got to about 11 or 12 inches high I stopped. (It’s about 15 inches wide and 4 deep.)  I had an idea for the handles.  I was going to make a loop and then run it under the bottom and up either side (similar to the handles on my LL bean boat tote). While I was mulling over the handles and wondering if I’d ever actually use this monster bag, I put it aside. It was just standing there under the table, so I was using it to hold another WIP when inspiration arrived in the mail!   Actually in the form of the latest issue of Crochet World magazine.  In the back, preview of what’s coming next month section, there it was: a striped jute basket that looked surprisingly similar to my striped bag! And so by simply weaving in a few ends, a WIP moves ever so easily into a FO and a “Bagsket” is born!

Until next time,
Stitch & Read with Love!

I love finding a use for something that I had destined to be frogged and it's a great looking basket :)
