Retro Crochet Fulled Bag

Description

This OOAK original Bohemian bag was fun to design using vintage wools from the 60's and 70's. The wool yarns had labels from Grant's and K-mart! It is crocheted and then fulled (felted).

On one side of the bag, it has a fun design of two blocks with 3-D flowers surrounded by green 'leaves'. The flower and leaf part of the blocks are in two different colorways-one has pink with olive, the other is dark red with grass green. The rest of the block is like a 'granny square', very retro!

The rest of the bag is done in a special pattern which allows the colors to flow from one row into another. The seams are on the outside in a dark red for a nice border to the 'bargello' like pattern. It looks great worn with either side showing!
The straps are made using a woven technique.
This bag sure took many hours to create (my mind has blocked out the exact number, but believe me it was a lot!).
