Recycled Silk Tuck-Away-Tote F&T 2020 Q1 Contest Entry


For this challenge I wanted to not only make a reusable item, but also to use a recycled yarn to do it. I dug through my stash and picked out a few cakes of Darn Good Yarn’s of Silk Blend Sport Weight yarn. It’s made from reclaimed sari silk and viscose. The colorway is Burgundy Blossom.

I searched Ravelry for a grocery tote pattern, and found this super cute Tuck-Away Tote pattern, that contains a pocket, that the tote can be folded up into! You can easily tuck it away to carry in a purse or coat pocket.

The round pocket is positioned along the bottom of the tote. I finished it off with a pewter Celtic button that I had in my stash.

All tucked away, ready to go on a shopping trip. …whenever we’re finally allowed to go out again! :blush: In all seriousness, I hope you’re all safe and sound, home with your families. Take care of one another my friends. :heartpulse:

This looks great! I love the bags that tuck into themselves - I keep one in my car for unplanned shopping and it’s so helpful.
