Description
A worsted weight tote bag in one size with 7 words.
Crafters carry lots of stuff. We’re always dragging our latest projects along, just in case. The bigger the tote, the more project bags you can take, right?
And everyone needs a statement piece. This tote bag works up in a variety of colors or just alternating two of your favorites. I had this idea jotted down on paper for a number of years, but a sweater finally came to fruition for my Rhinebeck trip with friends in 2019. This tote bag was soon to follow! It’s a large bag with an option for felting or making shorter by knitting fewer words.
Make it your own but keep it colorful!
