the purse
i received a book on knitting last year and doubted my ability to pick up something new while i am still in this phase of little sleep and very full days. a neighbor, and organizer of the local "knit wits," eased my fears and taught me the stitches needed to make these bags. i thoroughly enjoyed making the first and could not help but continue on to complete twelve. friends offered their secret stashes of beads from necklaces once loved and antique buttons collected. i also used several pieces from my own keepsakes: a bracelet bought on an outing with my parents, a necklace carefully chosen after being invited out with an older cousin...i am currently working on setting up a little online shop at etsy.com under mereornament. hopefully, these purses will be up for sale on that site within the next week.....
