Great pattern Drew!! I'm thinking, what yarn do I have in my stash that would look good in it? Might have to go shopping!!

I grabbed the pattern earlier today and am almost half finished with the first side! Great pattern, Drew! I am doing mine in Wool-Ease Chunky instead of two strands of sport weight, and I also added an extra round to the center part to make it a little larger and deeper..Will post a pick as soon as I am done!

This is such a quick pattern!! I'm on the second side already and will finish tonite except for the lining and closure. I'm using a strand of chocolate simply soft along with a strand of rose pink cotton twist (discontinued by RH) and it's coming out sooooo pretty!! Thanks again Drew.

This bag is great! Thanks for the pattern! I hope to make it this weekend.

[Homebody]

Thanks Drew! I'm starting mine today! I just have to pick a yarn or two.

[thecrochetdude]

I'm so excited!! I hope everyone will post pics of their purses here!!!

[woolandflax]

Well it's done except for the lining. I think my yarns were too soft for this pattern. It doesn't have the body your's does Drew. Oh well. It's cute and I have lining fabric that will match perfectly. Now does it need a pretty pin, a pink crocheted rose, or a button on the tab closure?

[Kevspepper]

Thanks! That's an awesome purse!

[mimi_mia]

Drew the purse looks so pretty and I love the name!!

[momkat]

That is so cute. My oldest daughter is always begging me to make her more purses. THANKS!

 

Seriously, I think she would like that one. The problem is....she makes me lists of things she would like to have and steals everything I make for myself!

 

Spoiled!

That really looks great! I love the colors you chose and I'm sure a lining will give the fabric enough body.

 

I would love to see a pin or button for the closure to give it some "jewelry"!

That purse is so cool! Kudos!

[mimicat]

Have to put this on my to-do patterns. Thanks, Drew!

That's a really great purse, Drew! Thanks for posting the pattern. I've recently switched from making sweaters to making purses to use up some stash. This'll be my next project.

 

About two months ago you had recommended Crochet for Fun and Profit to me and I wanted to thank you for that also. I bought the book and have learned alot from it:c9

I'm glad the book has helped you!

Y'know, it'd be easier for me to control my purse fetish if folks like you would stop creating fabulous patterns that I absolutely have to make.

 

Seriously, though, thanks so much for sharing this pattern.
