Spring has finally sprung here in Chicago, so all I can think about is my new wardrobe and fun ways to accessorize it. After spending a day at the mall, I came back with plenty of great outfits, but I still need bags! I just could not find a bag that I was in love with. So, I decided why not put my knitting needles to good use and make a unique DIY tote bag that is sure to go with my outfit? I needed a practical and useful bag that could carry all the sundries that come with being a mom but looked cute as well. Knitting tote bags is a fun way to get the exact bag you need and practice new stitch and construction techniques. Branch out from the basic knit scarves and knit cowl patterns and try knitting a great tote bag.
