Knitted Purse

I made this geometric purse with 100% wool yarn. I really like the bold colors and my fun button.

It's lined with a little piece of jersey knit fabric that I sewed up and inserted into the pouch. I didn't sew it in or anything, I just placed it inside. Works perfectly!

My favorite part is the back. I tried a colorful, two-tone tribal pattern for the back! For those of you who don't knit, this means I knitted with two yarns--held two in my hand, one working yarn and on free yarn, and then switched them to alternate the colors. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be--getting the tension right is a little difficult at first, but it was very easy and I'm  going to try it again on a bigger project.

I hope to perfect these and sale them in my shop!
