Thank you so much for all greetings !!!!! It's now 5 days since the surgery, and everything is OK! I have to take care for some days more, but I feel I am recovering! Today I took som FO- pics, last spring I made lots of crocheted hats. This year I think I have been "hooked" on totes, don't know why!
*The first one was a "grandma-tote, and I was not satisfied with the shape. Untill I turned it sideways, and everything looked much better! Looking forward to fill it with "summer things"!

is easy, may be for beginners too!BUT you have to recognise a stitch from"something which can look very alike a stitch" in pattern row 3.If you incidently drop down a stich in stead of a "YO", it will frog rapidly. Apart from that, it was funny to do!
Here are mine: This is my own, I used it in hospital for my knitting and by book; Lying in bed, it hang beside me ;-)
