Reenie Tote|| Crochet Multicolored Tote Bag || Tutorial.

[doreenarch]

Hello my fellow needle workers.i have missed you all so much. Today is a bit different . I made myself a tote bag!!!!!!!!!

For most of you that may not understand the excitement, I have been wanting a tote bag for the longest and I just have not had enough spare time to make one. I finally did and here we are [I feel giddy].

The color mix was inspired by the last design I posted and I decided to try it out on a bigger piece and I must say I love this much.

I really didn't expect it to come out this good but yeah it did.i used different category of colors but it still found a way to blend

This will be a two way post, i will talk about this piece for a bit and head into a tutorial too.

First of all,i rarely make things for myself so whenever i do i make sure to share it here because it takes a whole lot to make it, complete it and then deliver [for myself that is].i have a thing for tote bags, not only that though big bags generally

I take a liking to them so it is only normal that I made one for myself immediately I got the chance to do so.

I did intend on making more but this is what i have done so far and all other designs will come in once i have worked on them.

This is a multicolored bag yes but the aim was to make it graduate from light to dark so i can easily balance it out.
