Simple Striped Tote Bag
It's that time of year again when I'm ready to break out the cotton yarn and make myself a dozen different crochet bags. After all, one can never have too many bags, especially tote bags! I consider tote bags to be a summer essential… who am I kidding? I use my crochet tote bags all year round. Why do I historically design new tote bags this time of year? I think it's because I'm being optimistic that, eventually, spring and summer will arrive here in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Maybe it's my way of willing the warmer weather to come, or maybe I just love my growing collection of bags.
