I've been waiting for a while to be able to show you this. When the blog hop first came up I wasn't sure if I wanted to take part; what would I make? I agreed to do it before I had any idea what I was going to make. Many knitting projects take too long and spinning while fascinating to watch often results in a skein that looks better in person or once knitted up. Felting is not something I'm good at and nor is crochet; though I do make a mean dishcloth in cotton. Cotton though is not what was needed for this hop so I kept thinking. Sewing was an option and I did have a possibility for making a shawl for my historical outfits, but then the latest installment from the Vintage Purls Winter Sock Club arrived and all my problems were solved!
Each winter there is always a colourwork pattern in the club, several times these have been socks which would have taken too long, last time was a tam which would probably have been ok, but this time was the cutest thing ever!
May I introduce you to Bunnybags aka Miss Moneybags.
 |
| Yarn is leftovers from other Vintage Purls projects; in its prior outings this yarn became a pair of bug socks and a pair of bug mittens. It's lined with 100% wool felt and sewn into the frame with wool too. |
 |
| The inside, not as neat as I'd like; never sewn one of these up before and it was quite awkward. |
 |
| The bottom, this is a moss stitch derivative; ignore the crumb, not sure what that's from. |

ReplyDeleteHello Rachelle, Your Miss MoneyBag is very very beautiful. I love the two Hare designs very beautiful indeed. Happy to meet you. Hugs Judy
ReplyDeleteDarling coin purse. I made several of these in fabric and yes the sewing to the frame its awkward and the stitches do tend to show a bit inside which is why you want to match the thread you sew the frame to the lining fabric color so it isn't as noticeable. I love how you did the moss or seed stitch on the bottom of the purse. Plus great colors!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful job you did on this purse. wonderful design, great work getting it set in the frame.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Such a cute idea!
ReplyDeleteOMG! That is soooo beautiful! What a wonderful idea... You are a gorgeous knitter. Maybe I will be like you when I grow up!!!

ReplyDeleteThank you, if you follow the link to the pattern it should be available for pre-order if you're interested. I don't get anything from any sales so recommending cos I like the artisan who designed it.
Oh, I love it! pretty little woolie, and such nice work.
ReplyDeleteThe colors you choose are fantastic! I love scrolling through this blog to see all your creations! The blues and greens positively glow!!

Such a cute purse. I have not tried those purse frames yet but they seem to be harder to use than I thought.
