Granny Square Market Bag - Completed

I am still not in love with this pattern, so much so that it's a "I barely tolerate it's existence and it's glad that I cannot see where I sewed in the ends otherwise I would have three balls of yarn back to use for something better."

The bag functions just fine.  Aesthetically it's a mess unless it's in use because of how the pattern is structured in making the bottom and side panels.  I was going to put a flower on the bag, but that just didn't look good on the bag for some reason. =^O.o^=  Over all, I love the front and back panels, but I hate the bottom and sides.  The pattern would be much better served if the sides and bottom were done in three separate pieces and attached rather than one large piece of floppy doom.

Materials used:  Lily Sugar'n'Cream cotton - Key Lime Pie (3 skeins), US H hook

Etsy Shoppe Now Open!

That's correct, I finally have my Etsty store!  Now I just need things to sell. =^>.>^=;;

I've been so busy with the Census that I have had hardly any time to work on my current projects, but I am almost done with a second granny square market bag for my future mother in law. :3  I hope that she likes it when it's finally finished.  And I am hoping that I DO finish it before they take off into Portland because I had originally wanted it done for mothers day but I messed up on my counting for the sides and bottom. =^>.<^=;;;
