The Never-Ending Purse

March 18th, 2007

Last spring I found a wonderful pattern on Craftster, and crocheted it slowly over the course of three months. It’s quite quick to crochet, but I only had time to do about one row at a time. Once finished, I realized that it needed a lining, so it promptly went into the ‘To-Do’ pile where it stayed until Christmas. What is it about ‘To-Do’ piles? They seems to be a black hole for projects…

It took me a good three days to put in the lining, because I was too lazy to sew it in, and could only glue small sections at a time. Now, it has been hanging in my room, just waiting for a picture for three months! I’m done with finals AND I finally have my camera back, so without further ado, here is my never-ending purse, ended!:

Crochet Purse

I used two shells as buttons for the closure, and a bright teal fabric for the lining.

Me and the Crocheted Purse

It feels very ‘beachy’ to me, so in another two years, maybe I’ll make another in a raffia or twine;)
