Another Crocheted Bag

This one is for my niece Emily, she is the older (by minutes) fraternal twin sister of my niece Laura for whom I made the bag I posted about here. But this time I did a mesh stitch and used Lily's Sugar and Cream color called Over the Rainbow! I used the free pattern that came with the ball of yarn.

I could not figure out the instructions for the handle, so I did my own thing with that. It is triple crochet. I thought that stitch would go best with the mesh, and I made it long enough so that it should not be in the way when filling the bag.

I have really enjoyed making this for my niece and thought of her and my mom as I was making the bag. Which is one of the joys of making things for people, I think of them while I am stitching or crafting, or whatever.

I love the mesh look and yarn so much I am making a scarf for myself and will post about that another time.
