It's a purse!


So I was talking with Emily the other day and I realized that I forgot to post what my last project was. From the poll it seems that most of you guessed correctly -- I won't say anything about those that guessed wrong! ;-) But anyway, I actually finished knitting 2 days after I posted the poll, but I got lazy and never finished the purse. All I had to do was put a button on and a purse strap, but I just kept putting it off. Well, I finally added those things last night and I think it came out really nice. The purse strap is actually an old belt I found at goodwill. It was a lot harder than I thought trying to sew that thing together. I bent 2 needles and broke one. Finally, I took a knife to it to make big enough holes so I could hand sew it together with yarn. I guess we'll see how it holds up!

That looks great! I'm thinking about picking up knitting when my life gets a little bit more sane.

wow. That belt did some serious damage. It looks really good though. It's a nice winter purse...you can stick your hands in it when it's cold outside:)
