My friend Marci is making an Earth Day Project and it inspired me to make one too!
I found this cute grocery bag tote on Lion Brand's website.
I started working on it last week but its taking me some time to do it even though its a pretty simple pattern. First, you have to use two strands of the yarn to help with durability and the yarn I'm using is already pretty stiff... so after about 3 rows my fingers are ready to quit. So I've only been working on it in slow increments but also with determination to get this part done so I can move onto yarn that won't hate me.
I'm planning to make a heart to go on the pocket instead of the stripes. Thinking about adding buttons too, not sure yet! But here is where I am so far!
Wow! Your stitches look so nice and even! Looks like you are making some good progress. I would have never thought about needing to make it thicker. I guess that makes sense though.
ReplyDeleteThe heart is going to be so cute!!!
