I cannot manage to photograph this tote in a way that a) makes it look as cute as it is, or b) makes the lovely, subtle colours show up. Natural light would help, but it’s evening and I’m too impatient to wait until morning. So! I actually cast on and knit the base before I moved, but I got sidetracked and forgot about it until a few days ago. Then once I’d almost finished, I had to rummage around in the yarn containers to figure out where I’d put the handles.

I haven’t figured out what I want for a lining yet–I’m thinking that since the tote has a square bottom, it’d be cute to keep that shape all the way up and have a drawstring top like those cute Lantern Moon baskets.

At the moment, though, I’ll put all thoughts of linings aside and focus on the medical science test I have tomorrow.
