Made this recently using the Lion Brand Shoulder Bag Pattern. I made the strap a bit longer than it called for not realizing it would stretch once stuff was in it, causing it to hang down at my knees. I used some ribbon yarn (Patons Fresco – Calypso) found at Herrschners Yarn Sale it would twist as I went but as you can see it turned out pretty well. My worst problem was trying to remember the colors while at the store looking for a button. I had planned to get a large orange button but once I was there looking at all the buttons, they didn’t have orange, there was white, red, green, blue… As I stood there trying to remember the colors in the purse I thought, “Damn, a red button should be fine, orange and red match, I think there’s red in it.” I got home, yeah, no red…the red button didn’t match at all. Luckily I had bought a package of star buttons, that one works very nicely! Other projects to show…but not until Saturday! I got 10 official yes RSVPS for the shower, I’m gunna need to go to Costco or something in order for us to all booze it up without making me go broke.
