Handmade Chalk Bags For Climbing!

For Christmas I made chalk bags for two close friends of mine!  I crocheted the outter part along with the handle that way they could easily attatch it to a carabiner. I didn't have a model to look at when I was making these chalk bags but i'm pretty sure they are lined with fleece. I then used fleece for my inner lining, sewing it in. The only thing I had to buy for this project were the cord stops, which came in a set for about $2. The only thing I would do differently is have the elastic be hidden between the fleece and outter crocheted layer instead of being exposed where it could agitate against a rock while climbing. But, since this was my first attempt I am really proud of how they turned out!
