a handbag in progress

[makeit4me]

this handbag will be knitted.
the base will be garter stitched, but not sure about sides, as in what stitch to use.

but handles will be chain-linked handles.

the yarn is Patons Grace Cotton - color Taupe

stay tuned

cotton handknit handbag which will be finished with handles made out of chain-link shown

ok now working the sides after completing base

2 inch base which sides will be knitted around

takes longer to update pics than purse.

finally! handbag actually didn't take long, although seed stitch takes longer. but this was one of those subway rides, "in between other projects" projects

combo seed, stockinette, garter stitch

although I could have made it longer, for me it fits exactly what I needed: phone, ID, $$, lipstick, keys.

completely finished has a brown button for closure
