Author Content Ladyborg Magnolia, TX (Zone 8b) May 13, 2009 11:06 AM Post #6543086 My first crochet purse. I'm a knitter really, because crocheting tends to hurt my hands, but I've learned with this project that I really enjoy 1-skein crochet projects! Though this took actually about 1 1/3 skeins of Yarn Bee's Dreamy Chenille. It's soooooo soft! The pattern is free at http://shortylamcrochet.blogspot.com/2006/11/nordstrom-hobo-... I am on ravelry with the name ARIELLURIA, so if you want to see my notes there, I made lots of them. Especially when it came to the handle part. I had such a hard time finding one I liked so I had to improvise ;o) Click the image for an enlarged view.

I love that snazzy lining. Have you tried any felted purses? They're nice because you don't have to line them. Ladyborg Magnolia, TX (Zone 8b) May 14, 2009 07:31 PM Post #6549423 No felting yet. I do have one going on my new Bond machine, but it's been stalled for months. elsie Lafayette, NJ (Zone 6a) May 15, 2009 05:20 PM Post #6553443 Ladyborg, I love that bag. The stitch is very nice as is the lining.
