Thank you!

Okay, here's some of the crochet pile.

The bookcover and the hippie bags.

You can see that the multicolored one is bigger than the mostly cream one ... same pattern, different size hooks. Actually, what's interesting about that is that the yarn manufacturer's website (Lion Brand)has the same pattern with different hook size specifications listed multiple times. I actually prefer the larger version. Either of them will hold a ton of groceries.

It seems they vary the materials and hook sizes and use the same pattern for a lot of their freebies ... that openwork V-stitch scarf I recently finished seemed really familiar ... I made it for my mom a couple of years ago in a bulky weight yarn.

The yellow and white bag is a pattern from a different manufacturer (Bernat) and is more like the European openwork "string bag" type, except for the solid bottom and handle.
