Looking back through my projects, I found this tote that I made a few years ago. Just a simple knitted tote to hold my projects, with a little pocket I sewed on the inside for my smaller things. Thinking about it, I realize I have a lot of fabric left over from my knitting projects…What do you think I should make with it?
![BOOKS I WANT TO READ BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There's a couple weeks left in 2022 and here's a few books that are on the top of my TBR this month (thank you @seekingdystopia for tagging me and thank you to the publishers tagged below for the free copies)! Check out the books on my list below:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
KISS HER ONCE FOR ME (via @atriabooks): This one I've actually finished already (✔️ for me!). I was in the mood for a holiday romance and this book was first up on my list.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
FIVE SURVIVE (via @getunderlined): I also finished this a couple days ago and this book kept me on my toes. So nice to read a thriller that was actually thrilling!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PEOPLE PERSON: I freaking loved QUEENIE, so I was very excited when I heard that Candice Carty-Williams was coming out with a new book. And I love the UK edition of this book, which I picked up when I was in Australia a few months ago.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
AGE OF VICE (via @riverheadbooks, out 1/3): I was lucky enough to attend an event for this book a couple months ago and I finally started reading it this week. I'm not very far in, but I'm already intrigued by the story.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read any of these? What books are you trying to read before the end of the year?

Fun! Did you give them out or keep them for yourself?
Thank you Sabine! Hmm, well the lining certainly gives it more stability- so perhaps using a stiffer fabric might help a bit? Also, I've seen patterns for flat-bottomed bags where they insert cardboard on the bottom to keep the shape…Hope that helps a bit! Also, that blanket sounds lovely- I would love to see a picture! :)
Thank you so much Monique! Ooo, I love the thought of little scented pouches- I'm going to look up a tutorial- thanks for the idea! :D
Love these lil guys! So cute!
very cute!
This is so cool, as always. Amazing. I have no idea what you could make with your leftover fabric…but something tells me you'll come up with something swell!
Hi There! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I'm quite impressed with your knitting! Am following now! xo

I honestly couldn’t say, since I can knit at all. Or sew, or paint, or draw, or do anything crafty for that matter :) you seem like a creative gal though! I love the tote I think its adorable!
i love that cute pocket! i'll say it once and say it again – you're SO talented!
ohhh, my! i love the front of that tote. i'm stumped, though, as for what to do with that extra fabric /:
A really really long scarf? hahah just kidding I dont know a patch purse?
Write it in Lipstick
Amazing! Love it! xo style, she wrote
Since chunky knits are all the rage it would be cool to use the fabric you have left to make one, would look great with a maxi skirt. ;)

very cool! You should make…a random patchwork scarf :)
Oh, I am so envious, I just have no skills when it comes to knitting (I am all thumbs…people have tried to teach me countless times but to no avail :) ). Love your bag…the best part is, when you make it yourself, you can add any extra feature (ie…an inside pocket) that your sweet little heart desires!
Cool! You have some talent there, lady! I have no idea what I would make, probably a crooked scarf since that seems to be my forte. If I could I would make a sweater vest, though!
This is so cute! I love the colors you used. I don't know how much fabric you have–but I'm really into patchwork anything right now!
The bag is so cute! And I agree with the patchwork quilt comment :)
make it into a full sweater!!!!

Charity patchwork quilt?
These bags are super cute. I wish I had a talent (tear). lol Kiah
Back when I was knitting I used to take scraps and knit wacky mish-mash scarves with them!

I love your projects! You are such a good artist and designer :)

That's a really cute tote. I'm still wondering how to give knitted bags a bit more stability… any thoughts on that? Many years ago my sister made a lovely blanket from all my old knitting samples. We still love it dearly.
How cute! I've always wanted to learn to knit, but I don't have a very good track record with crafts. I used to crochet, but I never seemed to finish anything I started! Same goes for latch hooking and cross-stitching. Ha!
You are so crafty. i love it! maybe you can make scented schets to put in your sock/underwear drawer? My friend made little tiny scented pillows and filled them with lavendar theyre sweet.
Thank you Ashley! It seemed the winner of my poll was 'something patchwork' and I also love Monique's idea of making little scented sachets, so hopefully I can do both of those projects! =)
Thank you! :)
You are too sweet, thank you Zarna! :D
haha, maybe both! :D
Thank you so much! :)
Thanks Krystal! It seems that patchwork something is winning the poll right now! =)
Thank you so much Ariel! I have quite a bit actually, so a patchwork something could be really interesting! :)
Thank you Gertrude! :)
