This is not just a crocheted bag, its evidence of my ability to make a net with nothing but a ball of yarn and a crochet hook. Come the apocalypse, y'all can loot the gun store, I'm headed to the local yarn shop. We'll see who eats better.
It also makes a lovely disguise. For keeping your mug off TV during all that yarn looting.
It all started with a trip to Joann's for white yarn to...ready for it??? complete a project. I found myself enthralled by the netted bag pictured on a roll of Sugar'n Cream cotton yarn. The colorway didn't thrill me, but I picked up two balls just to get the pattern inside, so I could make the bag when my current project was done.
Once home, I began on the bag immediately. After I mastered the netting stitches, I decided that I could turn this into a water bottle holder, with the benefits of it being smaller and quicker to finish. So I did what any ADHD crafter would do, I abandoned the bag to start on the bottle holder.
This one remains unfinished because I have the idea to use D rings for the strap to help cope with the inevitable strap stretching issue. I'll update whether it worked. Once the project is done.
When TEOTWAWKI happens, I will totally trade you yarn for guns. That way we both benefit. (And I probably shouldn't be typing this with my gun nut husband reading over my shoulder, LOL.)
