Ta-dah! Slow Rainbow Tote!

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
Raspberry

I 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
