Fatty #5 / Super-Fat #6 (Autism Awareness)

After seeing how well the Autism Awareness Fatty turned out (in my estimation, anyway!), I decided to try something new. I’ve made a second Fatty (just about identical to the first) and a Super-Fat (using a whole new kind of yarn) to see if it could be done.






Both bags have been lovingly crocheted by hand using 100% cotton yarn (this particular Super-Fat uses double worsted weight). The Fatty has painted bamboo handles, while the Super-Fat’s handles are 9” rattan hoops. Each has an interchangeable flower clip.

The Fatty measures approximately 7” high (not including handles) by 11” wide by 6” deep, and is available to purchase on Etsy for $25.

The Super-Fat measures approximately 16” wide by 9” tall (not including handles) and 9” deep, and is available to purchase on Etsy for $35.

Fatty #4

Well, apparently I didn't take any photos of the mini pink camo Fatty before it moved on to its permanent home...bummer.

But here's the latest permutation:





This is the first time I've done this bag in a solid color, and I'm really impressed with how the stitches stand out.

The entire bag has been lovingly constructed by hand using 100% cotton yarn, painted bamboo handles and an oversized flower clip...oh, and this particular bag has a little bit of red satin ribbon for some extra pop. The finished product measures approximately 7" high (not including handles) by 11" wide by 6" deep.


You could have your very own for $25...just holler if you're interested, and we can talk about colors.

Fatty #3 (Autism Awareness)

A big thank-you to Miss Cyndi for keeping me working on crochet projects.  This is actually the fourth Fatty I've done, but I don't seem to have posted the last one.  I'll see if I can find that and put it up here soon.





I am in love with these colors.  Only after the bag was finished did I realize why...it reminds me very much of the autism awareness puzzle piece motif I've seen all over the place.  I think I might need one of my own...

The entire bag has been lovingly constructed by hand using 100% cotton yarn, bamboo handles and a cute-as-a-button flower clip. The finished product measures approximately 7" high (not including handles) by 11" wide by 6" deep.

Want your own?  I can make it in any color combo you could possibly imagine...just give me a shout.
