Twine. Isn't it a wonderful thing?
I still had some twine from my last endeavour and the colours were so tempting I couldn't just let them lie there eyeballing me, tempting me, calling me, distracting me... so I started a new tote with my pattern (link on the side bar, if you're interested) and it's a corker.
But just like that I another WIP.
The problem is we have just bought a house, YES. A house. VERY exciting. But this means a lot of sorting out and clearing and NO WIPS.
Or at least not so many WIPS. Right?
So I crochet like fury and amazingly it got finish within a week.
Yeah, it figures... if you work at something you can get it done...
Nice eh?
5mm hook and 4 Nutscene twine rolls.
And now all I have to do is work on the other WIPs, right?
Simple.
a HOUSE! oooh that IS exciting! x

oh - I love that bag too x

But with a new house you will have heaps of things to carry and will need more of these lovely bags.

surely you can hide one or two in that lovely bag! I had coffee with a friend last week who asked about my "stash", there was a moment's silence before I said which stash? Wool, fabric, patchwork ...

A house, how exciting, congratulations. The bag is lovely, very tough looking but pretty too. And it will no doubt be very handy, what with moving and everything. CJ xx

OOh, huge house congratulations!
And the tote is gorgeous. And, *obviously*, I need to make one too.
Though I fear my other half is going to move out if I start another project ... ;-)

Fabulous bag!!! Congratulations on the house, I hope that the move goes really well for you and that you are very happy in your new home. xx

I love your pretty, colourful bag. It must be very strong, too, being made with twine. I must admit, I work better when under pressure, as well. A new house is 'good' pressure - very exciting!

Many congratulations on your new house, so exciting. I love your bag, sturdy and gorgeous. I really want to try out this project, is the twine comfortable to work with?

Top notch (sorry, I think that may be a vague crocheting pun!) and beautiful bag! I love it. And congratulations on the new house. Fingers crossed it all goes okay. Are you staying in the same area or moving further afield?

Lovely! Both the bag and the new house news. Hope the move goes well!

That bag is fab. I suggest you leave the WIPs if you've moved house because when you get in new house there's bound to be something far more exciting and fitting with new surroundings that will demand to be made.

I love this. Yes, am filled with tote envy. I know you are a completely creative being and make things up as you go along, but I'm not, so do you have a pattern or know of someone else's pattern for a similar tote, because I want one too!!!! Penny L in Dorsetxxx

New to your blog but will definitely be returning! Thanks. Deborah
