Knitted Tote

Finally finished this Knitted Tote. I can't believe all the mistakes I made with the handles and lining. I sewed the handles on each side that made the bag dip in the middle. I then sewed the lining in perfectly and it was in backwards with the seams showing. I did each thing twice.

I am so glad it is done. Now I am on to crocheting hats for the winter.

I have attached the pattern picture and my 2 pictures. It kind of looks like the Pattern I think.

Wow Good job knitting Spoula A lot of color changes

Hi Jean Marie, Thanks for the compliment. I wanted a challenge so I chose that pattern. It was really not as hard as I thought it would be. Besides the written instructions it had a chart so that helped me to keep track of the color yarn needed. The little knitted sweater with all of the designs and stitches that I didn't know how to do was much harder to do then this tote. If you knit the pattern was a free one you might want to try.

Are you on the right track now with you doll dress? I don't understand what is going on with these post. I get an email that shows I have received a message but when I go to the message it is never the current one so I am really confused to which post I am responding to. Let me know if you need more help but based on one of your post it looks like you figured it out.

Great job - the end result is what counts.

Thank you Nova you are right but I was just so distracted I kept making silly mistakes and I lost interest in finishing it. I had to force myself. Now it is done.

Sometimes you need to put a project aside for a while, especially if it's getting frustrating. Coming back to a project after clearing your head works so much better!

I quite agree and it goes for other things, also. When I just can't solve the Scrabble or Cryptoquote in the daily newspaper, after trying for a long time, I put it aside til the next day. I pick it up, and, voila, the answer just comes (usually, anyway).

Thanks MeToo. My next project is a cross stitch picture of my little granddaughter. I just need to buy the thread. I don't want to use the thread color they proposed in the pattern. The colors are just too dark.
