Earth Friendly Squid Tote Bag
Oh, Great Squidoo Lensmasters, Harken to the call of the Magnificent Squid: "squid bags...squid bags...SQUID bags...SQUID BAGS!"
With encouragement and pointers from some favorite Lensmasters, "The Squid Bag" was created. To quote Mama Crump on the "Nutty Professor": "FABULOUS, FABULOUS."
People won't be able to stop themselves from asking about this bag. I will proudly tell them: "Being a Squidoo Lensmaster is my bag."

The Squid Bag
Get Yours at The Crochet Angel on Etsy
"The Squid Bag", along with other great treasures, can now be found at 'The Crochet Angel' on Etsy. Crafted with squid-orange colored heavy duty worsted weight cotton yarn, it measures approximately 10 inches x 12 inches, but can stretch larger. The mesh design allows you to carry many odd shaped items. Its drawstring closure functions as a carrying handle.
This edging option is the Shell.
The Squid Bag is similar to the Earth Friendly Shopping Bag, only smaller. And only one pair of handles. And it has charm dangles on it. And it has the 1" Squidoo Squid Button on it.
Optional Edgings
Reverse Stitch Edging Option
Third Option for Edging - Picot
The Men's Squid Bag for Shopping, Gym, Lunches, and Other Manly-Type Stuff
Men - Your Squid Bag is Ready!!!
The Man-Sized Squid Bag is finally here. Large enough to hold all sorts of things men need to carry - gym shoes, food, books, shopping items, footballs...Made of 100% cotton yarn and machine washable. It is about 14-inches x 14-inches. A little larger than The Squid Bag and a little smaller than the Earth Friendly Shopping Bag. The mesh design allows it to stretch in all directions, so it can really hold a LOT of stuff.
This bag comes with a 2 1/4-inch "Squiddicted" pin-on button. Please remove the button when you wash your Squid Bag..

To match the Squid Bag - for you or your favorite Squidoo Lensmaster. Thank You to Christene
A great big e-Hug to Christene for her immediate response to my request for the 2 1/4 inch "Squiddicted" button with black background. Without her immediate action, the "Men's Squid Bag" would just not be the same.
I hope everyone will give her lens and her CafePress shop a visit.

Interesting Sites
With interesting information
I have just learned about wabi-sabi. I love the concept. My crochet items are wabi-sabi. The pictures my grandchildren have drawn or colored are wabi-sabi.
- Hobby Story: Wabi-Sabi Savvy
- It is actually a difficult concept to describe. Once it is defined, thereby giving it a form, it loses the essence which makes it what it is. Wabi-sabi began in 14th century Japan as a reaction to the rich materials, brilliant colors and lavish ornamentation displayed by the Chinese culture. Today the popularity of wabi-sabi could be viewed as a response to our high tech world in which exactness and duplicaton are so prized that designer logos are worn front and center on clothing to identify it as being a perfect match to all others produced by that same designer. Something so exact and mass-produced is definitely not wabi-sabi.

The Color Orange
If you like the color of orange...
...you have tremendous energy and an eye for organization. Having a keen sense of excitement and ambition, your social character finds you constantly encircled by family and friends.
Orange is a fun, warm color stimulating energy, creativity and activity. It is the symbolic color of fall. It suggests pleasure, cheer, excitement, strength and ambition. Use orange in advertising and it will emphasize happiness and enjoyment.

- The Art of Color and Emotions
- We all know that bright colors attract our attention. Colors have a powerful effect on human emotions. Every color has a hidden meaning that can invoke certain feelings.
Colors can also be a fun way to understand the personalities of other people. We have included the personality traits associated with a persons "favorite color."

- Your Squid Bags are very clever and unique. I see your Etsy Shop is nearly empty - are you taking a break? I have an Etsy Shop - MountainsideCrochet, and a new Squidoo lens just published http://www.squidoo.com/Fiber-Arts. I'd like to add this lens and the one you did on The Crochet Angel to my fiber arts section called Etsy Fiber Artists/Crafters on Squidoo, but need to know if you'll be updating these lenses soon and if you are continuing with your Etsy Shop. I don't want to give you a bunch of emails and/or traffic if you are not in a position to deal with it right now :-). Your pictures on 'The Crochet Angel' lens are wonderful and both are well written. Hope you'll be adding more things - it's fun to read.
