Since I’ve mastered scarves and hats, I wanted to make something different. Something practical that could actually be of use. I flipped through my crochet books and found the coolest purse to make. Here’s what it was supposed to look like:
Here’s my first attempt:
It came out a little crooked. I was told it looked like a grandma sex swing. I was a little disappointed it turned out this way. I followed the pattern exactly (I think) but the tension of the yarn probably caused the odd shape. Tension is the hardest part of crochet and it takes lots of practice to get it down right.
I’m not a quitter (sometimes) so I tried again and it came out much better this time:
The only problem with this one is that it came out really small. Like, it will hold your keys and maybe a smaller cell phone but that’s about it. Basically it holds what you could fit in your pockets. But it is cute and stylish!
I think it’s appropriate to say that I have mastered purses now, so I’m moving on to something new. I realize that my projects come out really screwy, but it’s still a lot of fun so I’m going to keep on doing it! Stay tuned to find out what’s next! It will be my best project yet!
