ReviewsYARN SUB Rianne de Graaf's Colourful Wayuu Bags to Crochet ticks a lot of boxes for me. For one, I have a thing about bags. Two, I have a thing about intarsia knitting and these bags are made using tapestry crochet, which is kind of like intarsia's crochet cousin. Finally (mostly) I am seriously coveting the flamingo bag on the cover! --- Yarn Geeks Newsletter, May 2019, Rianne de Graaf's Colourful Wayuu Bags to Crochet ticks a lot of boxes for me.
