The purple wool has all gone now, I am sure you'll be pleased to know, so now it's time for something different. The knitting is still going, but in a different colour, but I did have time to do something different. After the small purse I did a little while ago, I thought I'd like to try them again, but on a bigger scale.
I bought a kit from U-Handbag, and I must say, their instructions are fantastic. They are very clear and concise, with plenty of photos. It is a fiddly process getting the fabric body and clasp together, but once it's done, the results make it worthwhile.I also bought a purse clasp, so the next stage is to draw up a pattern to fit the clasp. If I can work that one out successfully, there may be a few more purses in the making.
