Crochet bag

This is the first time Iam trying a bag in crochet. I used motifs to make this bag. My mom is expert in making crochet bags using nylon thread. she helped me in making these motifs. I modified the original pattern of a motif from the free pattern which comes with the thread.
I have joined four motifs together. In this bag both the front and the back are the same. I made the front and back side separately and joined them with the shoulder strap.
It may not look so good because it is the first time. With trail and error method I have now learnt another method for joining the front and back side of the bag which looks better than this. I shall try it with my next bag.

Crochet sweater

This crochet pullover is my own creation. The stitch used here is double crochet. I have used front post dc to create an embossed diamond design at the bottom but due to the color of the thread the diamond is not so legible. But those who are familiar with crochet can identify it.
A closeup of it. Can you see the diamonds at the bottom?
