There are two reasons why I have been good about bringing my lunch to work…
1.) California cutes are delicious
2.) My new lunch bag
The pattern is from the japanese book Motif Crochet winter accessories and I think it is for a little bento lunch box. So that is what I am using it for.
For yarn I chose Knitpicks CotLin, which at the time I purchased it had a really limited color palette. I can’t believe I lucked out and picked something I like so much (especially since the colors are much brighter in person than they are on the webpage). I just looked, and they have added some new colors. that’s good news, because this is NICE yarn. It is DK weight 70% Cotton 30% linen blend that after washing makes a fantastic fabric. There was a significant color bleed and lightening that happened during the Eucalan bath, but it still looks great (and smells a heck of a lot better). I want to use it to crochet all kinds of washable household items like washcloths and placemats.
I thought the bag was so photogenic, I did a photo shoot. I’ll leave you with the results:
