Hello my dear needleworkers! I was busy decluttering since we need to go to the other City at my daughter's place. Well, it's such a tiresome job that I need to stop every now and then when I glanced at my crochet materials which triggered my interest again! I planned to have another set of wrist pouch and sling bag for myself.

I started with both since am not decided which to do first.:)

My Pouch

I usually do 2C's when I crochet a pouch to make it thicker. I used the milk cotton thread because it's smooth and soft which I ordered online.

I prefer doing it in spiral as I make a perfect tube when done this way. By the way, the shades are different since I did my crochet at night so bear with me okay🙂.

After circling, I directly made 100 chains and did single chain back and forth and take all to make a handle!

I finished it before I went to sleep.

A petite flower on it will break the monotony.

The following day, I crocheted my bag. I wanted to finish it right away before boredom strikes else it will end up in a box for a long period of time I don't know when. Actually, they're lots of 'unfinished' business stashed inside that big box! Lol!

My Tote Bag

I ordered this cotton twine online. I like the texture and unpolished look making it raw in appearance like a traditional twine made by the natives.

It's quite thick and good for the base part.

I still have the mocha thread which is a good combination. I don't like flashy colors for this.

I finished it after making a 12-inch deep measurement, ending with the white thread.

I was not copying any pattern for my bag. I changed my mind. Instead, I made a slope design to make it look more appealing.

See, it did looked more beautiful, isn't it?

I made a four-segment braided cord for the handles.

That's for the knot for cover.

My finished product! Do you like it guys?

When I travel, I usually put the immediate needs in my pouch such as my coin purse, inhaler, specs, mask,memo pad & pen, tissue paper. Therefore, I don't need to dig deep and find my stuffs when I needed them. So handy!

This is all for now, thank you for passing by my page! Thanks @crosheille for being here all these years and of course, to the rest of the admin.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Nice job, I love the colors you use. Thanks for sharing.

I like the colors too. Thank you for dropping by. It's highly appreciated!

I am planning to make a pouch bag but it's always put on hold due to my hectic schedule at my online job at the Christmas Season in the offing. Everyone in the publishing firm is busy. We always have online discussions. Sakit sa bangs! Hilo na ako. I want to create another beanie for this cold season. I hope I can create one for myself before Christmas day ☹️. Thanks for sharing your crocheted pouch, Sis. It's lovely. 💖

They're simple as you can see but it's all worth it. Keeping yourself busy gives you the energy to keep going!

Thank you so much!
