Theme park crochet-Thorpe Park's The Swarm Bag
I've recently been learning to crochet, and while I've been enjoying making other people's designs, I've been wanting to try and make my own as well. While I'm not quite ready to make amigurumi from scratch yet I have made my own cross stitch patterns in the past, so I felt comfortable coming up with and making crochet tapestry designs from scratch. I want to make designs based on horror movies, themes parks, scare mazes etc, and since theme park season has just arrived I thought I would go for a coaster themed bag that I could use when I visit them. Originally I was planning to make a Saw-The Ride bag as it combines horror and rides, and even made up a pattern for it, but I quickly realised I was not ready to single crochet something large that involved a lot of black yarn (if you know you know!) so I'll be saving that design once I've done a few of these. Instead I went for one that had a much easier colour palette to work with...The Swarm!
