craftgrrl | On a purse-making kick...muchas fotos!

First-time poster. You guys are amazing...go easy on me!

Tried one...

Liked it so much I made another...

And my favorite so far!

I actually screwed up a bit on this one, but managed to mask it. I'm terrible at counting stitches in my rows, so my projects often end up "smiling" on the ends. Halfway through this project, I realized that the end I was about to finish was much smaller than what I started out with. So I ended up turning the large part into the top and folding it in, like you would with wrapping paper when wrapping a present (the last picture). It actually came out way cooler than I could've anticipated.

This one is my favorite because it's so bloody SOFT!!! I was tempted to jazz it up with some beads and such, but I'm afraid I wouldn't have wanted to touch it as much then!
