I was feeling pretty confident after I made Delilah’s sweater, so I decided to try something a little harder.
I picked out this clutch purse. It may look simple, but it’s made using some very advanced crochet techniques. The tension is very important for this project too, something I have struggled with, but I felt like I was getting better at crocheting and I just knew I could take this one on!

I took my time and did my best, but mine turned out like this.

I know, it kind of looks like a baby bootie or a mini stocking of some sort. It definitely doesn’t look like a clutch purse. As usual I have no idea what went wrong.
I felt a little disappointed to be honest. My last project turned out so well! I’m think I’m going to go back to dog clothes for my next project. At least Delilah’s sweater looked relatively like what it was supposed to. Stay tuned to see what I crochet for my dog next!
