After nearly a week of overcast weather the sun finally came out to shine for me today! I needed clear skies for I Heart to Knit Tote photos, and this morning I finally got the chance. I knew the forecast called for rain in the afternoon, so I quickly snapped as many photos of the totes as possible and crossed my fingers that most shots wouldn’t need retakes.
Luckily, I was just wrapping up the last of the action shots when the rain started to lightly sprinkle down.
Over the weekend, I’ll be processing the photos and getting the totes ready to post on “Etsy”:http://karissacove.etsy.com.
A new batch of “Pink”:http://www.etsy.com/view_item.php?listing_id=497381, “Olive”:http://www.etsy.com/view_item.php?listing_id=497379 and “Blue”:http://www.etsy.com/view_item.php?listing_id=388703 Knitting Totes are up for sale on my “Etsy Shop”:http://karissacove.etsy.com, and I’m just finishing up some totes in Purple, Peach and Green for posting later this week.
My life’s been so jam packed with sewing + working + fun + parties
that I don’t feel like I have my head on straight. Summer’s almost over though, and I’m happy to finally be getting everything in order.
So, without further ado, I’m releasing the first batch of my I (heart) to Knit Totes, which are now available in three colours and for sale on Etsy! OMG, finally!
These totes have been made to help keep knitters organized and cute as a button! They have a variety of inside pockets to keep all your notions, patterns + yarn organized, and there’s loops to feed your yarn through so it doesn’t get tangled. They’re perfect for knitting at home or on the go, I’ve been using one for months and it’s like a little knitting buddy!
The “I Heart Knitting Totes”:http://karissacove.com/journal/2006/06/05/the-i-heart-to-knit-tote/ are definitely coming along — I’ve got all the letters cut out and sewed onto the fronts of the purses, sewn all the pockets onto the lining and attached the magnetic snaps:
Basically, all that’s left is sewing the fronts and backs together and they’ll be all done.
I spent the afternoon playing around with mixing and matching fabrics for the “I heart to Knit tote”:http://karissacove.com/journal/2006/06/05/the-i-heart-to-knit-tote/ letters:
I love going through all of my different fabrics and matching them up — it’s like making a quilt, only less intense!

I only have one item left on “Etsy”:http://www.karissacove.etsy.com! EEEKKK! I rummaged through some more older stock and prototypes and found a few more goodies that I’ll put up later this week.
