Ta-dah!
My Slow Rainbow Zig Zag Tote Bag is finished! It's headed for the Sydney Royal Easter Show in a few weeks time.
I used my own pattern, the Zig Zag Tote Bag, and the following colours of Stylecraft Special DK:
Black
Plum
Violet
Lavender
Cloud Blue
Turquoise
Aster
Empire
Petrol
Teal
Aspen
Spring Green
Kelly Green
Green
Meadow
Citron
Saffron
Sunshine
Spice
Tomato
Shrimp
Fondant
Pomegranate
Lipstick
RaspberryI couldn't decide which colours to use for the straps, so I did one in 6 colours around the pink end, and one in 6 colours around the blue. I love it!!
Since the Easter Show doesn't allow anything to cover up the inside of the work, I added slip stitches around the base and across in 5 lines to give at least the bottom of the bag less room to stretch.
The inside still looks pretty good though :)
For this week only (until Monday night Sydney time), you can buy this pattern for 50% off with the code RAINBOWTOTE, or just click on this link:

If it sells at the Show, I think I'm going to have to make myself another one :D
Fantastic! I like they way that you did the base so cleverly too. Hope it wins you a prize! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy! At the very least, I hope it gets on display :)
DeleteI didn't know that you could place your items for sale to the general public when exhibiting at the Royal Show. Is it a condition of entry that your items are available for sale? Your bag looks very good. I am sure you will win a prize with it because it is your own original work and it is finished off so neatly. Looks great! Good luck! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's not a condition of entry, but it is an option - the RAS takes a 30% cut though! The competition is pretty steep in the Creative Crochet section, so I'm not confident of a prize! Getting on display would be awesome though :)
