A pretty trellis stitch made with soft acrylic and wool blend yarn makes a very dressy design on this tote.The button closure is adjustable to accommodate most size book. Inside pockets hold the book in place. I used a Reader's Digest Condensed book for the model, and it still had room to spare.It also has a bookmark sewn in. Sturdy straps. Makes a great gift.
The book tote will give a little, but please measure your book to make sure it will fit this tote.
Color is slightly lighter than shown.
Measures approx.
10 inches wide
15 inches long
Straps 16 inches
Adjustable closure 8 inches
inside flaps 3 inches wide
Bookmark 8 inches
Button 1 inch

Some bird pictures I took today
I'm working on my next crochet project, so until that's done i'll share some bird pictures I took today.
The first picture is a hawk. I don't know what kind of bird is in the other two.I was thinking maybe a falcon, or baby hawk.
Update:
A reader helped me identify the bird as an American Kestrel, the smaller and much more common relative of the Peregrine Falcon.

My Crochet Today Recycled Plarn Tote
Here's a cute bag I crocheted from over 100 plastic shopping bags.
The bag is about 17 1/2 inches wide by 13 inches tall .It has a 31 inches long x 2 inches wide strap that I crocheted in a tube, thus giving it double strength and padded comfort.
The top of the bag has a decorative yellow scalloped edge.
It's sure to be a conversation piece.
People will be amazed when you tell them what this bag is made from !
This recycled plastic bag would make an excellent market tote or beach bag.
The term Plarn is derived form the two words plastic & yarn
