This is a bag I've been fooling around with. I saw this idea over on Anti-craft and was so taken with it. My grandpa was an avid deer hunter and always had the hides tanned and processed. When he passed away, I was given an entire brown paper bag full of his deer leather. I first attempted knitting a bag with a leather bottom but I wasn't happy with the pattern. It was awkward and the work didn't progress well so I ripped it out and instead crocheted the bag out of my stash of Lamb's Pride Brown Sheep yarn. My girlfriends have been working on crochet leather bottom bags too. I can crochet squares and rectangles but I can't read a crochet pattern and I've never been able to make flat circular shapes, so this is a quick way to start them.
