I love collaborating with WOOL AND THE GANG! The staff is so awesomely nice & the yarn is amazing! They have so many different kits to choose from as well if you're just looking for a project with no thinking or designing involved.
They sent me a crochet kit for the Carrie On Tote. I love tote bags. They're fun to make and mostly always very easy. This one is rated easy and it really was simple. Any beginner crocheter can make this tote.
This kit contains 4 balls of Mix Tape yarn, straps, crochet hook, tag & instructions. I chose Lipstick Red and it was gorgeous! I've never used the flat yarn before and wasn't sure how I'd like it. I was expecting to maybe use a large hook for this project but it came with a 6.5mm crochet hook. It worked out just fine. The pattern was a little different than what I'm used to but very easy to understand. After you get past the base, it's a no brainer.
I caught a cold when I received this kit but of course, that didn't stop me! ;) As soon as the Tylenol kicks in, I pick up the WIP!
I love that there are 2 options for attaching the strap. I didn't care for the look of the first option which required you to sew the straps from the top all the way to the bottom. I chose the 2nd option using the screws. I attached my personal tag on the bag because it covered up where I ended my bag with slip stitches really well.
I'm so impressed with this super simple tote and it's perfect for everyday use. I may throw a party using this kit! All my friends prefer to learn crochet rather than knitting. Hoping to get that started soon!
