Our patterns have been worked many times by our in
shop clients. Your comments are always welcome.
In one week several customers brought in a pictures
of this purse from fashion magazines. The price in boutiques and high end department stores was $1050. We knit it in Plymouth's
Baby Alpaca Worsted, using 2 strands held together for firmness. The purse has many cables and is quite easy to work.
We
added a punch by lining the purse with a bright chartreuse lining, and pinning a decorative pin to the flap.
