“Sheltering in Place” with Hermès

Shhh. I started crocheting a certain hermes style bag. I'm really inspired by the sheer challenge of it:

1. I am an advanced knitter and don’t really know how to crochet.
2. I will need to be very creative to figure out how to make the bag structured using items from my house because yarn is floppy and has no structure.
3. I have to work only from a photo because I don’t own one.
4. I’m using my luxury yarn that I bought to make myself a sweater.
5. I have another month in quarantine, so my goal is to finish before then.

This is terrific....can't wait to see how this progresses ( and how soon I can guess what bag it is!)

Applause! Crochet is very simple, that is even the simplest stitch can build and take you where you want to go. Also very accommodating to “riffing” and if you don’t like it, pulls apart very easily to start over.
