Thank you. Your bags are really pretty, since I’m starting can you like give me some advice on what I should start with. I don’t want to crotchet clothes- it’s quite stressful- but these bags quite interest me.
Maybe you can start by learning some basic stitches and then use this video to make a simple design phone bag to start:
A coaster is also a good beginner project after you have got the hang of it. Start by looking at a beginner crochet tutorial and cast one some stitches and do a few rows first to get used to it. By the way I can’t wrap the wool around my fingers the way some peopel do it so don’t worry if you can’t hold the wool exactly like they do in the picture. You just need to hold the yarn in a way to give enough tension.

My new project is a laptop bag. It is a work in progress at this point as I still have to attach the other strap and a lining and a closure mechanism of some kind.

but for croching a bag, what is the advised type of yarn to use
It depends on what you are making. I like yarn that doesn’t get dirty easily for small bags (like polypropylene yarn) but some people use cottons and jute and raffia because they want to use natural materials.
For this project I wanted to use a thick material to project my laptop during transport, so I used a tshirt yarn. (And combined with the jasmine stitch, it gave me a thick material that may not be as good as a professionally padded bag, but does work really well for my use case)
well I decided that I will be making handbags and hats. And I think that polypropylene yarn sounds nice, but are you talking about macrame
What stitch is this? Some form of starburst stitch?
it is a jasmine stitch

macrame is a type of art that involves knotting. I’m talking about the type of yarn I use to make crochet bags (polypropylene being my current favorite)
These all look so beautiful! I’d love to start, I actually tried a weaving class recently at a renfair and that got me more motivated to start my own soon,I just need to buy all the kniggly bits for it.
weaving is something I wish I could learn… I want to learn how to make baskets!
