Just in case you hadn’t noticed . . . this is definitely one of my very favorite websites! And here is a really nice pattern for one of my very favorite things . . .
This is pretty close to the way I make my own version of the classic Mesh Grocery Tote. I must admit, I hadn’t thought of using linen thread/yarn before. What a great idea! Basically, the difference is, my pattern uses cotton worsted weight yarn, and only 3 chains in the loops. This is a very nice pattern though. And, with picture tutorial! I think I may have to give this one a try! I just happen to have some linen thread that is just screaming to be used. H-m-m . . . Probably, I will have to use multiple strands to match the gauge. Another thing to look forward too!
Here is the link to the pattern: Linen Grocery Tote – the purl bee.
Well, it’s getting late, and I have done an awful lot of sharing today, haven’t I??? See you all tomorrow! Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!

About gmaellenscraftycorner
I am married and mother of three wonderful children, G-Ma (Grandma) to seven beautiful grandchildren.
I work full time at a nearby grocer as the Pricing Coordinator, which can be a very very stressful (especially around the Holiday Season) but rewarding position.
In my spare time, I craft and blog. Crochet is my obsession, my compulsion. My best friend, my therapist. I also have learned I love to knit! Who knew??? I may never be a master knitter, but I am a happy knitter. :D
I finally decided in March of 2011 to try my hand at selling my crafty work on Etsy (www.etsy.com/shop/gmaellen) and . . . it takes a lot of focus and determination. And time.
During the fall and winter months, (actually on into spring as well) I take part in an organized women's pool league in my area. I have been playing pool on the league for about 35 years. For the past several years my lovely and talented daughter has been playing on my team as well. This makes me very happy. My husband and sons play on the men's league as well so we are a pool playin' family! The family that plays together, stays together!
Work, family, pool and crafting and blogging. Pretty much takes up every waking minute of every day, but besides that I love movies and music (which I can enjoy while I am crafting!). And here I thought I didn't have a life!
Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog. I appreciate every click. :D
Good to use up stash
