Oh boy, I have successfully avoided all CALs so far this year and now you go and post this one! I have baby things to make for a granddaughter due to be born in July! What are you doing to me! I've never made a tote before, but Sue's beautiful tote's keep calling my name. They are just gorgeous! Oh, what to do? There is no deadline, right? I'll see if I can decide on a pattern and if I have enough yarn in my stash! I need something easy to start!

The Pockets-A-Plenty tote would make a great diaper bag...just saying.

And, I just posted the checkered granny go round tote I tested, that is absolutely stunning and easy to make. I'm definitely IN!

[marpan79]

Well, I guess I'm in since I just purchased the stashbuster tote pattern this morning after seeing everyone elses And I do love making bags I'll be picking up her next one too that's being tested now

[imanurse55]

I'm in!!!! I finished the the Stash Buster Tote yesterday and I love this pattern. I will be making some more. This one was done in RR SS Dark Orchid and Lavender.

[crocheter4jesus]

I'm joining! I have an idea for a tote, but I don't know what colors I'll be using yet. Probably just an extra skein that's taking up to much space!

[kittyloverdeb]

Count me in too! I bought Sue's pattern a few days ago but haven't started making a bag yet. I'm trying to finish up an afghan that is so close to being done.

Can't wait for the other tote to be available...love that one too! Thanks Sue for the great patterns and thanks ducky73 for starting this CAL!

[ducky73]

Ann- I am making baby blankets for my first grandson-to-be due in August and for my step-grandson-to-be due in July- and then I just had to make the tote!! So we can commiserate together on how we are being totally distracted from what we should be working on! The StashBuster tote was so much fun and so easy to make!!!

My vote is purple at the bottom and red at the top I feel like it would look 'top heavy' with the darker colors at the top

[ducky73]

thanks marpan!

[moomooo]

Here are the ones I've made so far and I got one more done that i havent taken a photo of yet so will leave that one with the more to come...

 

I love this pattern...

The first photo of the red one was the one i did to test the pattern for Sue.

Then the blue i made with magic yarn balls, and blue as main color...
