Knit Tri-Color Mini Tote

Here's a lil' bag/tote that I made over the weekend. Knitting this lil' baby up took about 5 hours total once I got my plan of attack in place.

I took it with me to work today and got a lot of compliments on it (and not just from my stitch'n pals, heh). It's nice and strudy and big enough to hold a paperback (a prerequisite for all my purses), a wallet, and some other goodies. No pattern per se, just a general idea of what I wanted and how to go about it, and suddenly... fa-waaa!

I love love love it!
