Beach bag madness

Okay here is that beach bag that I promised. Just for a reminder I ran out of the gray yarn when, so I kinda of switched the colors to improvise the project (that's why there isn't two gray stripes at the top). To my surprise it actually came out not that bad. For those who don't know what the symbol means its stand for the rap group Kottonmouth Kings.  However, the pattern that I am posting WILL NOT have the symbol that's on the bag. It will just be a plain beach bag and will most likely be smaller because i revised the pattern to not make it so big and long. The
reason being is that I haven't figured out how to put the chart pattern onto my blog, but until that day I figure out how to do, I'll be making a lot more blog post and more projects to come. FYI the pattern is for 2 colors, and that doesn't mean it has to be green and gray the bag can be two different colors of your choice. Well here is the patterns.

Long time no blog

Since the last time I posted something a lot has been going on. I have been working on trying to write my patterns and posting them on here. I am going to have to say that it was sort of hard because I kept forgetting to write down every single thing I did. It's easier said than done right? Well I came across another stop a problem. I see a lot of other crochets with crochet charts on their blog, and that is something I am trying to figure out how to do. Once I figure out how to do this I'll be posting a lot of patterns up on here. My first pattern that I did myself was a beach bag. The bag was for my boyfriend Tommy and I for out day at the water park. At first I had a chart and it was the image of the Kottonmouth Kings logo (Tommy's favorite band) and it was going to be a sweater, but that never happened and I really wanted to make something with the logo for him, so I just decided to make a beach bag out it. Well to my amazement it actually came out nice. Although, I ran out of gray yarn so half the bag is green, and half of the bag is gray. But, other than that it came out nice and on time for out water park day. I am gonna post the pattern for a free pattern beach bag. It will be good because I'm sure no "hook-er" (term for people who crochet) has heard of Kottonmouth Kings, so it can just be a plain bag and I'm fine with that. I'll post it after I finish up here.
Now I just made my first doily. I gotten the pattern from CrochetSpot.com I always thought of doilies as just an old person accessory, but when I saw this pattern I figured I could just make it my own and add my own Sara touch to it, I came to love it. Our coffee table now has a little decoration to it, and this boy room now has that feminine touch it thanks to the doily. Here is a picture of my first doily.
