my Gloria Tote progress! 🤩🤩 one thing to note, which Toni doesn’t say as far as I can tell, the chains for the border don’t count as a stitch. in her video, it looks likes she works into it, but for the count to be correct, they are skipped 🤷🏾‍♀️

[Sammi]

ahhh!! 🤩🤩🤩 thank youuu!! my book bestie loves thriller/horror, so I’ll get her recs, too!

[Sammi]

I just got this for my bag! I prefer to use cotton for bags, and this twist will look great with that stitch, I think 🤩🤞🏾

[Sammi]

yayy! it looks sooo good, Jen! 🤩🤩

[Sammi]

the colors turned out so good together!

[Sammi]

of course! I kept ending up with 54 double crochets and 17 chain 3s, but you’re always supposed to end with a chain 3 into the first double crochet, so 51 double crochets total, and 17 chain 3s.

[Sammi]

how is it coming??

[Sammi]

thank youu! yes, it does say not to count the chain 2 as a double crochet, but when you’re first going around after the border, it doesn’t say anything for the chain 1 in the corners!

[Sammi]

thanks for the tips, Jen!

[Sammi]

🤩🤩it looks SO good!

[Sammi]

eee!! I can’t wait to start! how is the pattern??

[Sammi]

yay! go, go, go! 🎉🎉 I’m hoping to start the bag either tonight or tomorrow!

[Sammi]

cotton for sure!

[Sammi]
