Ta da!
I finally finished Ingrid’s purse. It was Ingrid’s idea to add the flower. I wasn’t into it at first but now it’s growing on me. The flower makes it more girlish, more Ingrid. The pattern is from a calendar my mom gave me, which features one knitting project for each day of the year. This project was sometimes a headache (lots of ripping rows), but I got to learn some useful tricks, like Chevron patterning, moss stitch, and mattress seaming. I already have my next project picked out… actually, the next two!
Check out Ingrid’s new shoes while you’re looking, she’s told me she loves them about a hundred times so far.
Strike the pose!
