Crochet bags

I've been stitching for a while and im not that bad, but it think it would be awesome to make a crochet bag that is smaller than the average crochet bag, and filled with lead shot/plastic pellets.

I just learned how to crochet lat night, so I think today i will go buy the hook and the thread or whatever its called. Its way faster than stitching a bag. After i make one successfully i will post some pics.

that actually sounds pretty cool, especially if it has heavy filler. cool idea.

can you get it perfectly round? all the ones i saw looked like cylinders. not good at all since the bag rolls on your foot till it gets to the flat part(of the bag) ... but i'd be interested to see how it turns out!

Lon Smith's Grandma Ash makes some awesome crochet bags. If you're going into this route, you might want to give him a PM about the process.

Man, if you could get the material to be plyable enough while woven, and used some good filler, That would be sweet to have a crochet bag. I don't think I've ever seen one that was soft enough though. Maybe nylon. If it was all nylon that might work...
