Crochet - 'Sakura' Market Bag (Finished!)
I picked up the project again the next day and found the mesh part surprisingly easy and quick to work up! It was also easy on the hands, which was nice.
. . .the handles took two more days, and were much less easy on the hands. I did tweak them and those tweaks certainly didn't make it any easier - I increased them from ch80 to ch100 for each handle, and for two of the three rows I changed from sc to hdc. I'm glad I made the changes!
Unfortunately, I think I need to restructure the handles entirely to make them comfortably usable for me. With a chain base, it's too tight - it doesn't stretch at the same rate as the rest of the handle, meaning the weight that you carry feels like it's being supported entirely by that narrow chain. Not super comfy. Perhaps instead do a strap of short rows (*sighs*) and stitch it onto each side, the same way I do with shijimi bags.
Still, while it might not be kept for my use, I am pleased with it in the main! And I have ideas for how to tweak one that I'd like better to use myself, if I do.
