Crochet: Granny Square Tote Bag Purse Part 1 of 6

I'm going to try and make a granny square purse. I had seen it done on one of those knitting shows on tv I always watch. It probaly won't look exactly the same as what I saw, but I'm going to make it anyway. Hopefully I won't run out of yarn. I don't have a pattern or anything, just an idea in my head of how I want it to look. Here goes....

Oprah

I was reading an article in Oprah magazine yesterday. It was the March issue. There was a really good article on these women in prison in Peru. They knit alot of items and then use the money that they receive from the things they make to rebuild the prison they are in. Here's a link to see what kinds of items they make, www.makiwomen.org. Here's also a link to Oprah's website. Maybe the original article might be somewhere on her website, www.oprah.com.

Crochet: Hobo Bag Finished

It's finished but I just don't like it. I messed up on the handles. In the video the handles seamlessly come together with the bag. Mine looks nothing like that.

I'll probably use the bag for now, but I'm going to make a new one. This just does not look right. Thank goodness yarn ain't permanent. I can undo this and try something else. :(
