The reason I'm excited about this is that I have 2 patterns in there. One is a table runner:
And the other is a tote bag:
Both projects are worked with cotton - the tote is crocheted with Sugar'n Cream Cotton, the table runner with Peaches & Cream Cotton. As you can see, there are no ends to weave in with either project. That's why I liked designing them and making them so much. The great part of each pattern, you really get different looks with each batch of your scrap yarns that you use. And I bet you have a lot, just like me! I can't wait to make the tote and the table runner for myself, with all my scrap cotton yarns!
Congratulations on having your patterns published. I just purchased the "e-pattern" version of this book a couple of days ago and was seriously thinking about adding the scrap tote bag to my TO DO list. I love the idea of not having to sew in the ends. :)
ReplyDeleteDid you leave the visible strings or weave them in?
ReplyDeleteI left them just as you see them. It was a design decision not to weave them in. I think it makes the tote look more "scrappy"!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of the scrappy look. I have plans to make something similar when I amass some more scraps. I love the idea of just tying them all together and going from there.
ReplyDeleteI love the table runners...I have made some for my home to place them on the dark wooden tables.
