Using cotton yarn I had on hand, I made a French Market Tote. Yes, I wished I could buy the yarn that was recommended instead of using what I had on hand, but sickness and unemployment has made it very necessary for me to be prudent with the funds we do have.

OUCH! We spent the next several months trying to catch up and make due. In the process, we sold many things on Facebook Marketplace.
