I spend alot of my time at the beach. I spend alot of my time crocheting. With Summer officially here, even more so.
To kick off the beach season off correctly, I decided to crochet myself a beach bag to carry my yarn and stuff to and from the beach. One that was sturdy and roomy but not oversized and bland.
