Circle Tote

Small wheels, each spinning in its own colour, set across a calm grey ground. The grey supplies the restraint and the circles supply the play, like a row of paint tins seen from above. Candy stripes run the edges and the opening, and two short yellow handles sit easily in the hand or over the shoulder. Take it to the market, the library or the beach and back. The organic cotton blend is crocheted firm enough to hold a book and a bottle of water upright, open enough to stay light. Each square is worked separately before the joining, so the circles keep a loose, wandering rhythm.
