More Totes

After my first market tote (with a limited amount of yarn) I had made from this inspiration...

















...I decided to make a couple more, slightly larger. I had bought a large skein of Lily Sugar'n Cream Super Size Green and started my first tote with that yarn. I didn't really follow any particular pattern, but rather just kind of winged it.


















I was pretty happy with the final product (this is my daughter modeling the tote):






















And a few more pictures (sorry about the strange lighting, but this really is the same tote with the same yarn):






As you can see, this tote has a relatively large opening and two handles. Since there still was lots of yarn left, I decided to make another tote. This time with a tighter opening and only one handle:



The yarn is pretty sturdy and makes for strong totes. Should hold some heavy groceries. And since the yarn is 100% cotton, the totes can be tossed in the washing machine.

I am putting both totes in my secret stash for presents, I think.
