I have not been motivated to pick up any of my existing projects. In need of a quick fix, I decided to crochet something small. I rummaged in my stash cupboard and found one skein of leftover cotton yarn. I have been looking high and low for cotton string to crochet bags. I have tried string that I found in a hardware shop, but I found it to be too stiff and hard. This Butterfly yarn is a good substitute and it comes in many colours, so note to self: use this yarn for crocheting bags. The bag turned out big enough to hold a copy of Keitodama knitting magazine.
I'm beginning to like the pineapple motif after all.
Pattern: Japanese magazine ISBN no: 978-4-529-04357-1
Yarn: Super 10 Butterfly cotton 1 skein
Crochet hook: Japanese size 4/0
Iris and Areli nominated me for the Rocking Girl Blogger award. Thanks, ladies, it's such an honour and I feel so cool! It comes with a pink button, which I don't know how to download, and I am at a loss about nominating a number of rocking bloggers because it is impossible to choose only five. So I will take this chance to mention a few of the local bloggers that I have begun reading recently, and hope you will enjoy reading them too. The local Rocking Girl Bloggers are:

My kids and I are looking forward to watching 'The King and I' at the Esplanade tonight. Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend too!

I really really like your bag! The pineapple motif is very beautiful, original in away. Not the ordinary stringbag bag.
Nice Bag! I love pineapple motif. Congrats with the nomination.
Beautiful bag. It would make a great shopping bag!
I think this is the classiest string bag I've seen yet! I do like the pineapple motif. :0)
I love that bag! I have been meaning to make a net shopping bag for groceries. If only I could crochet...

Lovely bag!! I agree with Elena, its not like the ordinary ones you see everywhere. Very pretty!
Nice Pineapple lace bag! and the victorian shawl you knitted before is beautiful too!
When you lay the bag on the bed like that, it looks like a very pretty halter top.
Thanks for the award! :)
What a beautiful bag!
Great bag, the pineapple motif is a very nice addition, gives it a boost from just a plain old string bag. Much prettier.
The pineapple bag looks fantastic. Imagine all the colors you could use too, instead of just plain colored ones. Congratulations too on becoming a Rockin Girl Blogger.

Your bag is great! I've been looking at patterns lately and that's a very pretty one.
I've been looking for string bag patterns - this one is lovely but I can't find the pattern to buy in UK. Would you be able to share it?
