Worked all the flowers by rows at a time. Ran out of purple (B) and navy (c) and I’ve ordered some lining fabric from fabric.com…so I just need to get some more yarn and a handle and this will be on hold until the rest of the parts trickle in.

So far, it’s looking like the worst part will be sewing in all the ends. It looks like a yarn monster at the moment!

7/13 - Finished crocheting, and I have a complete yarn monster.

7/14 - Finished sewing in the ends! It’s waiting for the fabric to ship now ;)

7/15 - Found some fabric at Joann’s, so spent half the day sewing and it’s done! I’m a little worried about how the handle will hold up, but we’ll see over time I guess. Overall a gorgeous project, and the flowers don’t take nearly as long as you’d think.
