Bag of the Week!! Black and Wine Tote

 It's that time of the week. Wednesday! Wednesday! Wednesday! I love Wednesdays. Not only because it's Bag of the Week, but it's also family night. My boyfriend and I go out to eat with my parents. Couple of drinks, good food, possibly some obnoxious chatter, it's a great time!

Anyway! You're here to check out this week's bag, so here ya go.

Purchase here

Little secret - I once said in a previous post to make sure you purchase enough yarn for the entire project. I've been doing this long enough to know exactly how much I'll need and yet I manage to run out nearly every time. Then when I go to the store, they are out of the color I'm looking for. Go figure... You would think that because this happens so often to me that I would learn! Ha! Clearly not.
What happened was, I was originally going to do the whole thing in black and then come up with a design after (spur of the moment is sort of my thing). Well... I ran out of black. (I knew I was going to though!) Went to the store to get more and guess what?? Oh yeah, they were out of black. I mean really... black. After staring at the isle for several minutes, like new yarn was going to magically appear or something, I finally caught sight of this lovely wine color. Love it paired with the black. This time when I did the double stranded top two rows, I did a strand of each color. (figured I'd use what was left of the black) I don't know why I hadn't done that before. Pulls the two colors together nicely.

Here is a better view of the mixture. What do you think?

Alright! This bag is posted for sale on my Etsy shop. For this one there is the option of personalizing. Get your name or phrase put on it for only $3-7 dollars extra, depending on the amount of design area. Contact me for a specific quote. Or order something completely different, personalized just for you.

I would like to remind everyone that I do custom blankets as well. If you can think it, I can make it happen. Check out my reviews for past projects and feedback. (my Etsy shop is relatively new so there aren't very many. I've got a few projects in the works, so more to come.)
