Very cute! Love the photos too! How can you sell it for so cheap?
I'd be proud too.

thanks alot!

I sell it for cheaper because I really don't have a big audience right now...and I really am not ready to open a site of my own either.

That purse looks great - you've done such a nice job with the edges! I love how structured it looks -plays beautifully with the yarn - really nice! You've also taken very nice, clear photos.

I was wondering -Did you use anything to reinforce the strap so it won't stretch? I am thinking about it because a friend showed me a felted knit bag she had done with a long strap so it could be carried messenger style. It was knitted I-cord (really thick and I was thinking you could knit the icord with a length of cotton cord held in the center (maybe?) to keep it from stretching (the cord would carry the weight). anyhoo - I need to re-read your description again. Lots of random thoughts from me - love your bag - thanks for posting.
