I decided the point of all of this was not to be crabby so I set the lace scarf aside. I'm going to pick a simpler, more beginner friendly pattern to practice lace, I think. But until then, I decided to get to work on my Market Tote. The pattern can be found here. The yarn I'm using is KnitPicks (aka We Take Forever and a Year to Ship) Comfy, color Planetarium. My digital picture and the pictures on the KnitPicks website do not do this justice. It really is gorgeous. Also, it's a blend of Pima Cotton and acrylic and is ridiculously soft and yummy. The whole thing is knit holding two strands of yarn together, I imagine, for extra sturdiness. What you're seeing is the first of two side panels. I put my wallet, which is checkbook sized, next to it so you can see the size with more perspective. I also showed it folded in half at the turning ridge so you'd get an idea of what's going to happen.
Enjoy!

doubling the yarn for sturdiness! brilliant. not that it's unheard-of, but i'm still bitter about the messenger bag that i made that stretches so badly that it's useless. go, usefulness. what's so useful about lace? ;)
