it could be my all seasons trick-or-treat bag...

Ta-da! The tote is finished. You may remember it from a post way back, almost a year ago. It sure feels good to finish. I got to be a little bit of a perfectionist on this project, I pulled it out and started over at least seven times before I was familiar enough with the stitch pattern to only go back to my mistake. Mistakes, of course, that would only bother me. The way I could see if the vertical zig-zags had lost their zig, I couldn't have that. But it is for me so why not make it to please me? I used it today with my grocery shopping - it got quite stretchy with apples in it but it held up under the pressure. I'll be experimenting with it to find my favorite use. Taking a decent picture was tricky. I took a bunch, but I still feel the color isn't true. If you could hold it, you would see that it is a perfect autumnal shade. Knit with Mission Falls cotton in a color that has been discontinued (it's a good thing I had enough).
