Bags, bags and more bags!

[nicolep]

I decided to make market bags for all of the girls at work for Christmas. I just finished them today. I made some Stash Buster Totes (pattern here - http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/stash-buster-tote) and some Granny Ripple Totes (pattern here - http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/granny-ripple-tote-bag).

 

I finished in the nick of time. Tomorrow is the last day I can give them before people start leaving for vacation. They are currently taking a swim in the washing machine. Once they dry, they'll get shoved into gift bags and into the car.

 

The best part is they were all made with stash yarn.

 

Thanks for looking!

Wow Nicole you've been one busy little elf, haven't you? They are all so pretty and I'm sure your co-workers will love them!

[grannyannie]

Love them! I really want to try that granny ripple one! And of course I love making SBT's!

[nicolep]

Thanks everyone! I hope my co-workers like them as much as you all do. They are in my trunk all ready to be gifted tomorrow.

 

The granny ripple pattern is pretty quick and looks great. It's not quite as quick as the SBT, but it's a great pattern.

Really nice bags!! Love the colors of each bag you used!!

[DebraKay]

What nice gifts those are going to make! I really need to make a few myself! I did buy the pattern and have plenty of yarn so the only ingredient left is time!

[crochet4ever]

Did you use cotton yarn like peaches & cream or is regular yarn ok red heart?

[jessicali]

Love the teal/brown combo!!

[imanurse55]

Great bags, Nicole---I was on a SBT tear this summer- making them for my co-workers- I love that pattern.

 

I have the granny ripple on my long list of patterns to make!!!

[Monique39]

Very nice!

[greyhoundgrandma]

Very pretty bags!

 

I had just about forgotten that I got the granny ripple pattern. I'll have to get it back out and do some after the first of the year.

I made a number of SBTs for Christmas presents.

Did you use cotton yarn like peaches & cream or is regular yarn ok red heart?

I'm sure Red Heart would be fine. I don't like Red Heart yarn so I didn't use it, but I don't see a problem with it being used. I used ILTY and Vanna's Choice.
