My latest purse

[wanajo]

I made this purse for the drawing we have every year at our family reunion.

Very pretty bag!

Ooooooh, someone in your family will be very happy!

That is a gorgeous purse. I like the straps -- they look very sturdy. I am not a fan of hard handles but I don't like too limp or skinny straps. Yours are just right! I'll bet everyone will be hoping they win your purse in the drawing!

[wanajo]

Thanks, everyone...I am very pleased with it!

 

DebraKay,

The straps were easy...I just did 6 rows of single crochet then folded it in half and joined the sides with slip stitches. It sort of naturally formed a curve...perfect for a handle!

 

I'm almost finished with my next one...it's black and pink in honor of breast cancer awareness. I was recently diagnosed so I decided to make one to show support for awareness. It's looking great! Pics will be posted soon!

Very pretty! Can Lilli and I come to the reunion so we can be in the drawing??

I love the colors and the lining! Whoever is getting that is very lucky!

[Tampa Doll]

Oh how pretty. Love the lining.

[jeannej]

Very pretty and perfectly lined. I like how you creatively handled it too!

[Mellrb702]

How pretty. The inside is very pretty too

[breeze530]

Very cute!

[hhensler]

Nice purse...love the fabric you used for the lining!

I was thinking the same thing as DebraKay about the straps--I'm also very picky with straps. But I like the straps on this one.

 

I'd like to make myself a new purse, but I want to use some kind of yarn that can handle getting a little wet with rain. Not necessarily water proof, but something doesn't become soaked and heavy when wet. Does such a beast exist?

SpringJ,

 

Check out jellyyarns.com...I just googled waterproof yarn to see what might come up. Apparently this is thin round plastic that you can crochet or knit with...who knew?

[Monique39]

Very nice bag!

[Threecats]

Nice purse. Those colors are so calming. It will make someone very happy.

Thank you! I'll definitely check it out!
