Totes McGoats
Inspiration comes from funny places sometimes. A photo, a mood, a yarn and sometimes a silly saying! Introducting Totes McGoats the goat tote! Totes McGoats makes a great all purpose tote for goat fans, meme lovers, goat farmers, and people with that certain sense of humor. And it makes a great Halloween treat bag or basket too!
Market Day Bag
Over the years I have made a couple different bags, I have made two Totally Toteable Totes and the Honeycomb Beach Bag but I didn’t have a market bag yet, so I had to design the Market Day Bag! When I discovered Lion Brand’s 24/7 Cotton, I knew I needed to make a market bag with it! I wanted a bag that had a gorgeous open lace like look but it also needed to have a gorgeous texture. Even though the fabric has a lace like look, the fabric is strong and durable!
Tricolor Tote
"The Tricolor Tote has so many fun details - changing stitch patterns, fun tassels, braided handles - but its soft color palette and orderly structure bring balance to this fast and fun (and free!) crochet pattern! The Tricolor Tote was designed using Lion Brand Fast-Track, which is a really fun and unique yarn! Soft cotton/poly blend in a tape-like shape, it's like crocheting with your favorite t-shirts. And I love the look it gives projects! This tote is also another pattern on my never-ending search for the ideal bag handles. I've tried many different methods over the years, but I think this is the first time I've tried braids! This yarn lends itself really well to these braided handles, with only a tiny bit of stretch, lots of strength, and some great color play that ends in tassels! If this handle style isn’t to your taste, you can always add pre-purchased handles, or crochet your own using the linked tutorial!"

Endless Summer Tote Bag
"This tote bag is comprised up of floral afghan squares that were inspired by Hydrangeas, and also features a beautiful ribbed pattern. As far as the lining goes, in the past, I have crocheted other tote bags that I chose not to line, and I ended up really disappointed with how much they stretched out, so I made sure with this one that I added a lining to the bag itself, and the strap. I highly recommend if you will be carrying around anything with a little weight. I used Red Heart Super Saver, which is a pretty durable yarn, however, I think a cotton yarn such as Lily Sugar n Cream would have been a better option for something that will keep a lot of use, and dragged around from one place to another. The cotton option will also make the bag a little larger."
