Tote this around...
Ok, here's the before and aft of the tote...I made up the pattern and directions myself - well, I should say I expanded on the clutch pattern from the OneSkein book, and just made it bigger, but the colors, stripe pattern and decision on where to increase can all be attributed to me...I can already see where I wanna do things differently - make the handles bigger, make the gusset smaller, but since this is my first foray into the 'make it up as you go' sector of knitting, and considering I've only been knitting like this since the first of April, I'm pretty happy with the end result...
we just got back from Our Fave Nursery - this time I took the camera and shot 85 pics of the place...lots of the butterfly garden, some of the succlent garden, even the donkeys...amazingly none of the people I know and love there (sorry Christie and Natasha!)...so I'll get those posted as the summer rolls on...
I'm gonna do some behind the scenes beads for awhile, so you'll hear from me when you hear from me, but I have to get some other stuff ready for June/July as well...Bead and Button, a Kate McKinnon class, an Intermediate class at BlueMoon, and other groovy things I'll announce later...there will be beads, oh yes...ya never know when...

Just a quick note to tell you all the hard work on your yard has made it look like a paradise. It is as beautiful as your beads!!!!

man oh man, you are rockin' with the feltin'! I love the colours in your tote! I think the one skein book will be on my list for shopping :) Lots of leftover skeins to use up
