This is the second time that I’ve made this pattern. The first one was a really quick and fun present for my sister, so I’m excited to have this one all to myself.

1/12 After a short hibernation while other projects were finished, I have come back to finish work on this. So many ends to weave in! I knit the second half of the purse and will make a pattern for the lining before starting the gusset. For the first one of this pattern that I made, I knit the whole bag and then tried to line it and it was incredibly difficult with the whole thing already connected. I’ve learned my lesson.

6/23/12 After yet another really long hibernation, I have finally finished all of the knitting on this project. All that’s left is sewing in the lining and the strap.

6/3/13 It’s finally lined and finished!!
