Entrelac Tutorials-Crochet

To my anonymous commenter on Entrelac. Thanks for stopping by and these 2 sites are what got me started before I ordered the pattern to make that Entrelac bag. Hope this helps you, I did find it alot easier than I thought it was.

Finally Done

Wow, it sure took me a long time to do the little bit left to finish these 2 bags. I've been playing with these 2 for the longest time it seems like...lol But I'm glad to say I finished up my Entrelac (crochet) and this other bag using Noro. This was my first time using Noro and boy, was I ready to pull hair out & scream with this stuff..lol I now call Noro, "yuck" yarn as it is thin & thick all through the skeins/hanks. I even broke my new "J" Crystalite hook :( Very scratchy like too, but I will say it sure felted nicely! Just needs a little shave. The before pictures are up top (hopefully blogger has them there) and after pictures are near the bottom hopefully...lol


The Entrelac after felting I noticed a hole, so I put it towards the back and hopefully will remember to fix it. :) I have no clue how it got there, wasn't there before, but hopefully won't be hard to fix. I will say that next time I make either of these bags, I will make them bigger. I'm really surprised they aren't smaller, but glad they aren't either..lol The Entrelac after felting is only roughly 9" H by 9 1/2" W. Unfortunately I do not have a prefelt size.
Next is a bag I was just playing around with while waiting for different swaps to start.. I now call it my "yuck" bag..lol only because of the mess I have had using Noro. The pattern is from the picture of part of the book its laying on (up in the prefelt pic) called "Crochet Purses". I knew this baby wasn't gonna be to big after felting and almost thought I'd be giving it my grand-daughter, but it really didn't shrink as much as I thought it would, but sure felted nice! I do need to shave it a bit I think and the size after felting is 9 1/2 " H x 12" W in the middle part of the bag. Again, silly me didn't measure before felting.... I really hope to redo both bags eventually, I do have other swaps going and a couple starting, but usually the more on my plate, the more I get done...lol Drop me a comment and let me know what you think, I really would love to have other opinions.
Do hope everyone enjoys the rest of the Holiday Weekend! I know I am!
