Around the World Purse Pattern

The pattern if fine - it is easy to follow and a good beginner to intermediate project. It's worked flat and stitched together so if you aren't ready to start knitting in the round it's a good project. But it ended up be smaller than I wanted, and not quite the right shape. It was taller as narrower than what I was looking for. I ended up using this pattern as a base for a different bag.

Now that I have completed all my holiday gifts, I can concentrate on a gift for myself. Anxious to work with new type of yarn. Watch for finished purse.

Worked perfectly.

Haven't used patterns yet, but definitely will - have the knitting bowl and it is delightful to me as I really love wood. The patterns are so interesting because of yarn usage and because they are not too difficult - the wow factor comes from using interesting yarn but other yarn could also be substituted.

Fantastic easy to follow pattern. Made a great gift. I will be making it again.

This is a great pattern to show how beautiful the Bahamas recycled silk ribbon yarn. I am going to put a lining in it to give it a little more body. I found some great burlap to use for the strap, with some of the leftover yarn woven into it. My co-worker loves the pattern also and is waiting for the seafoam silk ribbon yarn to be back in stock to make a purse for her daughter. The purse I made is going to my daughter-in-law, so I guess I am going to have to order more yarn, perhaps in a different color, to make one for myself.

Still making the shawl. I'm new to knitting but this is a pattern that is easy to follow!
