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"! a birthday gift for Sister In Law.I found a picture in the net, and this is MY interpretation. Not quite like;another yarn, different pattern, not quite the same style, but INSPIRATED! found this pattern on Internett;French Style Shopping Bag: 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 ;-) I made two from white cotton yarn, and dyed them "batik- wise"One as a "Spring Greeting" for DD and one for is a bit difficult to see the color at the blue tote,but it IS more like the yellow in the pattern, and the color is jeans blue:The blue one: yellow one: days, I am sitting out on the terrasse;beautiful weather, as you see.I am making squares, but will start a sleeveless summer sweather , I think...!Good to be back!AUD ;-))

Hi Aud, It's great to see you back here. Glad your surgery went well and your are on your road to a complete recovery. Knitting and crochetting with your glorious weather and view will certainly help.

Aud, I forgot to say welcome back and glad that the surgery went well

- once I saw the Grandma Tote I got to thinking about making one for myself, and forgot about what I was writing to you about !

Sorry this took so long Aud, but I'm really glad you're feeling better after the operation. This keyhole surgery is a wonderful thing isn't it? Glad too that you're able to take the opportunity to make stuff, and gorgeous stuff too. I just love the bags, might even have to try the pattern out sometime. Just remember to take it easy, even keyhole surgery takes a while to get over, and at least it's a good excuse to enjoy your beautiful views and lovely weather Love Christine
