I love the way the colors are working out. Beautiful!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you for watching Cindy 😊

[@charlottereed8060]

I am anxious to do these projects of yours!!! Thank You!!! I have been crocheting since I was in grade school. I am 76. Every Christmas for 35+ years I have made crocheted dish cloths and hot pads for my family and friends. My daughter and I came up with a project we call hot mats: double hot pads, approximately 9 by 13.

[@kimberelyhigginbotham9577]

I crochet dish cloths and pot holders for my family too and I sell them at a local antique store. People love them. ❤❤

[@monicabaker5456]

I was surprised how well those yarns worked together. The bag is beautiful! Thanks for the tutorial 😀

Hi Sandy, we're so happy to hear that!

Thank you so much Dolores, we really appreciate hearing that! 💗

[@amberspiers21]

Thank you, Jayda, for all of your tutorials, for all of your time and effort! You've talked about the difficulty crocheting with RA and I've recently been diagnosed with Sjogrens, an autoimmune disorder like RA, so I understand the discomfort and pain you probably experience, which makes me grateful all the more for all you do to teach us how to crochet all the beautiful things you make! I sincerely appreciate you and Mr. InStitches! Wish I could do more, but I hope this little gift brings you a boost of joy! I'm just so grateful, thank you bunches!!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Amber! Thank you SO much ❤ Learning to craft in harmony with our ever-changing bodies can be a challenge but I think the end results are that much more satisfying 😊 Have a safe and awesome day!

[@kerripedersen9542]

Oh, this is so pretty! I love the stitch, too. I've started one already with a nice pink and a variegated pale green and white. It's looks so summery. Thank you so much for this!

I love this new market bag! I will definitely be working this one into my long list of projects. I already have one market bag hanging in my kitchen and I can't wait to add this one as well. So many projects and so little time is always a summer problem. Thank you for continuously teaching us new things!

Thanks Jayda for creating this beautiful bag. I never thought it would come out so beautiful with the 2 different yarns you were using. I’m going to have to try this with some of my yarn. 🥰

[@AllanCaine]

I've just about finished the project. I need to add the straps. This is the first project I have ever tried crocheting, holding two strands of yarn together. It took a bit of getting used to. However, I'm really happy with the result. Coincidentally and with my gauge, it makes a perfect cover for my mac book plus all my accessories. However, I'm not sure that the tote bag could actually withstand the weight of the mac book. Great project. I had so much fun making it. Thank you @Jayda InStitches.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Allan! That's fantastic! If you used cotton, it will stand up to some wear, but a Mac Book might be a bit "dear" to trust to a crochet bag 😉 Having said that, if you're going to shove your Mac into a suitcase, this would be just enough of a sleeve to keep it protected during travel (I do that)!
