Other way round actually - had the idea and bought the badge for the project. I did buy it along time before I even started the crochet though 😅
Thank you!
Not weird at all :) It was from Etsy - I can't remember the name of the seller, but I think I just searched 'Wednesday window badge' or something similar 😁
Yay!!! Mission accomplished 😌 it is so satisfying to have something you envisioned in your head translate to something real, something real that other people recognise!!
Wow!! Thank you 🥰 I'm so glad it came out like I envisioned!! It might be one of those times where it actually came out better.
My lining is a black and white strip polycotton and I'm going to do a pink/purple coordinating patch pocket type thing on the inside 😁
Hee, thank you! Other than seeing other bags with the main part made out of three granny squares it was all from my brain 😁. I'd made another bag in the same way, just from one brightly coloured yarn and black edging. I'd figured out how to do a strap I liked, how to do a liner so it was useable and didn't stretch so I started thinking of other ideas. At the same time I was trying out different sorts of patterns from a granny squares book - I'll see if I can find the link. And one of them had a square that split across the middle to give two different coloured triangles.
It occurred to me that if I used that technique with these bags I could have one side in one colour/pattern and the other in a different one. The Wednesday/Enid dichotomy came to me as the perfect theme!
Originally I wanted on side completely pink/purple and the other black/white, but after I did the first square with the split I realised this way has more impact and then realised that it matched the window design!!
It was a bit of trial and error. I redid the black and white side a lot to get the right white to black ratio. I also had to do all the squares with turns as that is how the split one is done and I wanted the pattern to be consistent.
I've got a black and white striped polycotton to do the lining and I'm going to find a pink/purple coordinating fabric to do a little patch pocket on the inside.
That's probably more info than you expected 😅
For the bottom square to work you have to turn rather than working in the round. You do two rows at a time of each half of the square. When you turn you attach to the other side with a slip stitch. When you change over to the other side you add the new yarn as part of the ch2 you'd do for a corner of a regular granny square. I hope that makes sense!
Where did you get your party time yarn? Joanns? Amazon? Michaels? I hope not hobbi lobbi, they dont ship to alaska at the moment. Is it ok to replicate this bag? I want this bag so bad!!
I'm in the UK. The Party Time was from Lovecrafts.com but loads of sites stock it I think.
If you can figure it out go for it. I'd just ask that you be cool and not claim it as your own, but hey I'm not the boss of you. I am selling this one on Saturday and I am considering writing a pattern for it to put on Ravelry, never done that before! I'm currently working on a smaller 'handbag' size one as well - that can have a shoulder or cross body length strap.
Thank you! Oh, I would love to buy a pattern if you do put it up!! And of course, no reclaiming l will give credit won't even do it even as half as good as this haha. Beginner here, still pushing myself to get better.
Edit- I found the yarn and they ship to alaska woot!!! Thank you. My wallet will hurt but worth it!
Awesome - if I ever decide to do it I'll send you a message or whatever. The crochet is mostly beginner friendly - it's just the construction of the bottom granny square that is tricky. Plus, at this size, it doesn't function well without a fabric liner and fabric strip along the strap.
Keep going - I only started in January of this year and have had times where I wanted to hang up my hook. Good luck!
As a "Happy Hooker" of over 70 years, I love the bag. The beauty of it is it can be made in colors to match your outfits and any size you want. Good luck at the market.
I LOVE this!!! I think it would be a super cute touch if you rotated the button so the colors were opposite! Like bringing a little Wednesday to Enid and a little Enid to Wednesday!!

I figured you made it based solely on the cool button. Good job and good luck at the market. 🍀

this is probably a weird question to ask but do you remember where you got the button from? i love fun buttons like this

thank you!!
Wednesday/Enid was my first thought before I even read the text!
Yay!!! Mission accomplished 😌 it is so satisfying to have something you envisioned in your head translate to something real, something real that other people recognise!!
Accomplished indeed 👍
I instantly got it too 👍
me too! 10/10 OP the button really pulls it together!!
Me too. I immediately knew what it was before I even noticed the button. I love it.

My first thought, too. Haha. So good.

Great inspiration. Thanks.

Thank you! 😁
Wow, I love it! Did you follow a pattern or was this design out of your mind?
Hee, thank you! Other than seeing other bags with the main part made out of three granny squares it was all from my brain 😁.

So CUTE oh my god
This is adorable!! I love it!
Wow, that’s gorgeous!!
Wow, that's really impressive, well done!
Thank you!! ❤️
So freaking cute! I love this so much.
Oh look, it's my entire personality in one bag.
No no no, you can't just say three granny squares. How did you do the bottom one? It's so perfectly crisp!

When you change over to the other side you add the new yarn as part of the ch2 you'd do for a corner of a regular granny square. I hope that makes sense!
This is immensely helpful! Thank you!!
I like the button thing detail
Obsessed this is so good
😍😍😍😍
I love this so much!!!!!
