I haven't had much to post. But feel free to check ravelry.com for a bunch of free crochet and knit patterns.

Granny Square Bag

For the main body of the bag make 2 granny squares, here is a basic granny square pattern:

Ch 6 , slst in 1st ch to make a circle. 

Rnd 1: ch 3, dc 2 in loop.  *ch 3, dc 3 into loop* repeat from * 2 more times, ch 3 more and slst to first ch 3 starting ch.

Rnd 2: (2nd color) Start in corner, ch 3, dc 2, ch3 dc 3, ch1.  In next corner *dc 3, ch3, dc3, ch1*  Repeat from * 2 more times, slst last ch1 to the first ch3 starting ch.

Rnd 3: (1st color) Start in corner, ch 3, dc2, ch3, dc3, ch1. * In ch3 sp dc3, ch1.  dc3, ch3,dc3, ch1 in corner*  Repeat from * 2 more times, slst last ch1 to ch3 starting ch.

Rnd4 & 5: Continue with pattern, using 2nd color.
Rnd6: ch 1 sc around, slst at begining ch 1. 
Rnd 7: ch 2, hdc around, slst at begining ch 2, fasten off. (with second square I inverted the colors and dont fasten off until you slst the two pieces together leaving one side open)

Strap
I just made it as long as needed for me.  So just ch as many as you need, then turn and hdc in 3rd ch from hook all way to end, then ch 1 turn and sc across to end, slst to bag, fasten off.  Sew other end to bag where you want it. 

If you want, add a liner of fabric and zipper or button, if not your done!

Cute Purse

ch 45
row 1: hdc in 3rd ch from hook across
row 2-30: ch 2, turn, In BLO (back loops only)  hdc crochet across. at the end of row 30, tie off

Join yarn on one of the shorter sides, and continue
1: sc approx 30 across the short side
2: ch 1, turn and sc decrease across
3: ch 1, turn, 2 sc in each sc decrease across
*repeat for short side on opposite side*

fold bag in half, make sure the short sides are lined up evenly
sl st through both pieces to close up sides after joining yarn, continue with a series of slip stitches to close up sides. When done, repeat on opposite side as well, flip bag inside out so that the sl sts are inside of the bag.

Strap (make two for crossbody bag)
ch 100 (more or less for a shorter or taller person)
row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook
row 2: chain 3, triple crochet across
row 3: ch 1, sc across and tie off
If you made two straps attach one end from each to opposite sides inside the bag, and attach them together at the top of the strap.
