10 rows and handles to go. I love K&C Cotton Essential yarn ♥️ 🤩👛

[Sammi]

it’s looking SO good!! 🤩🤩

[Renée]

Thank you! 😘

She’s done. My tension on the handle is super tight compared to the rest of the bag so it looks a little sloppy. 😕 Should I undo that area and redo it more loosely?

my handle looks a little off, too! I don’t think it’s your tension, it’s because there are more stitches at the top of the handle than at the bottom. it will look strange laying flat, but it should look good when youre holding it!

[Renée]

Ok! Phew, I really didn’t want to undo it! Now we need to go out sporting our bags 🤩😂

[Sammi]

yayyy!

[Jen]

Fantastic job!

[Renée]

Time to seam her up! I’m loving it… but realizing the color is almost identical to my Puzzle yarn… thankfully I am making a different sweater with it! LOL! Apparently I have a fav… 😂

[Sammi]

yayyy! did you figure out the ribbing??

[Renée]

Yes! Thank you!

[Jen]

This looks amazing!!

Started the Gloria tote bag today and loving the pattern! I think I got through the base + 12 rounds of the color change body section today. My Savannah cardi yarn isn’t heavy enough to make the length right via gravity (I need 19 inches in 38 rows and right now I have 12) so I’m taking a pause because I’m gonna have to add so many more rows/edit the pattern myself and I don’t have brain space for that right now. Gloria tote bag is pretty mindless though which is nice! The yarn is pretty but gosh remake has a heck of a halo it’s almost a boucle yarn…

Looking great!

[Sammi]

ooo! it looks so good! I didn’t realize it had a halo, interesting! 👀

@bellavitagirl4 and @sammi.crochets she’s done! I can’t decide if I should steam block or just wash and dry it (yarn says that’s ok).

I steamblock it before I seam it together because I’m pinning the pieces to particular sizes, but if it’s already steamed i think you could probably wash and dry it and be fine! Amazing job it looks awesome!

Gloria Tote Bag is off the hook! Time to weave in ends, steam block it, and get some cotton fabric so I can line the bag. I reinforced the handles with Dishie cotton internally (double stranding the chain with it) so hopefully it won’t stretch out too much with use.

[Sammi]

double stranding the chain was smart! looks so good, Jen!
