Tassels make everything better…

…even if you are adding a tassel for the sake of using up yarn. After five years of hard use (and being made on shift while I was a 911 dispatcher, so I was never paying full attention to it and surely split the yarn a lot) old yoga mat bag from Crochet One-Skein Wonders finally fell apart on me, and I began the stash dive to make a new one. I settled on the remnants of some Universal Bamboo Pop that has been languishing in my stash for a while, now. The pattern is a pretty simple openwork mesh. The first time I made it I followed the pattern to a tee, but this go-around I didn’t bother switching patterns in the middle, made it a bit shorter to fit the width of my mat better, and added a tassel. Pretty much added the tassel because I wanted to use up as much of that yarn as I could. Still ended up with leftovers, though.
