It is called Painted Desert. It is a worsted weight yarn by Red Heart. I was originally going to use a different yarn that I saw in the wal-mart by me, but I was out of town and the wal-mart there didn't have as great of a selection, but I really liked this one, so instead of waiting till I got home to buy the other yarn, I just went ahead and got this one.
Here is the pattern:

It is a Coats and Clark book, the kind that has 4 patterns.
Art. J17 Book 07343
Ok, so I obviously didn't follow the pattern exactly, or even mostly... I followed it up till the point where I had the main part of the bag done. Then I decided that I would rather have a strap than two handles, and that I didnt want to mess with the pocket on the front.
Here is the finished product:

Ok, so it isn't the greatest bag in the world, but it is my first. Oh, and I am ashamed to admit it, but it took me 3 weeks to do this bag! Most of that is due to my hands being messed up, it is hard for me to crochet for long periods of time.
Anyway, there you have it, my first project!!
Oh, and in case you were wondering...
The yarn cost me $2.14 per skein, and I used 1 1/2 skeins.
The pattern book was $0.99.
The crochet hook was $1.23.
Total cost: about $6.50.
Oh, and since I work at wal-mart, I get 10% off all that stuff!!
Thanks for looking!! Hopefully I will get some more projects up here soon!!
If you would like to make an offer on this bag, I would be willing to part with it,
just email me at jacrowe05@gmail.com!!

Your bag looks wonderful. I like the colors selected.
You did a very nice job with keeping your stitches nice and even. Most folks miss the importance of that.
Great job!
Hey Girl, you did a great job! I guess the apple didn't fall to far from the tree, hehe.
Keep up the good work but take it easy on your hands.
Love ya,
Mom
