Sophie's Purse This cute little vintage style purse was a quick present for my cousin Sophie who loves all things green. To make your own you will need: 10cm x 5cm purse frame (this frame is a small silver frame from u-handbag for tips on using other purse frames see my notes at the end of this post) Textile glue Approximately 115m of DK weight yarn - I used Elle Rustica for a vintage tweed effect. 3.75mm knitting needles Some material for lining Needle and thread 4mm Crochet hook or darning needle for side seams Cast on 44 stitches. Row 1: Knit Row 2: Purl Repeat these two rows until the piece measures approximately 8 inches. Fold in half with right sides facing. Turn right side out. With right sides facing sew around edges with needle an thread. Sew the lining to the top of the purse, then fix to the frame using the textile glue. To create the shape of the purse, push the bottom corners in on themselves (they probably look a little pointy at present!)

Lincraft Blossom (Blossom Tee) ...so here's the way that it usually goes...I see discounted yarn and buy as much as I can afford, or carry, or both!!! (but of course, that's just a given for all yarnies, right?). My next step is usually to take it home, drool over it, plan a million things to make with it, and then put it into storage bins for future use (:-D)...but, this time I was on a mission to use what I bought straight away :-) Lincraft had a discount bin next to the check-out with their own brand Blossom for 24 cents a ball (24c!!). By the time that I spotted it, there was a very lonely, sad looking, 3 balls left.
