This is a purse...you couldn't tell?It is the "Two Sticks Aran Purse" by Barbara Selesnick of Keep It Simple. She did it in white and used two chunky bamboo needles for the "sticks". She also had a chain strap. I did it in a camouflage-y varigated yarn called Jumbo Merino, and took a set of carved rosewood needles that I already owned for the "sticks". I lined it with a snazzy cotton and put a snap at the inside top. And rather than the chain--which was supposed to come from a hardware store (?!)--I did an I-cord.
All in all, I like like it, although it is smaller than I saw in my mind's eye (which obviously can't picture 8" correctly). And the cables don't show up as well as they did with the white. And I can't imagine where I'd wear it--maybe to a disco or mosh pit, where the sticks might come in handy. The next time I go to one.
i can totally comment now. weird. or am i just losing it?

ReplyDeleteHey Jane,
ReplyDeleteJust happened to see the "Two Sticks Aran Purse" on your blog. It looks great!!! I like it in camouflage... and the sticks might just come in handy in a mosh pit!! I recently designed a larger cabled bag. You can see it at www.keepitsimpledesigns.com
