I finished it! and I have been rocking it everyday since.This first picture was after I sewed on the fabric backing. My straps are a lot longer than that and I put on a little more fringe.
It took me about 6 or 7 hours to complete. Since I only had 41 yards to work with, I wont be making anymore with this handspun yarn until I get a job and can buy more yarn from Camaj. For now I plan on making more of these hippie purses but with acrylic white Red Heart yarn and tye dyeing the shizz out of it. Did I mention the Rainbow Gathering? I'm planning on selling or swapping these nifty purses. I'm also planning on opening a booth at the Bountiful Arts Festival with my sister this summer. My procrastination does get the best of me so we will see what happends. So far i've only knitted 10 rows with size 6 needles so its going to take me longer than the size 13's I used for my fringe purse. Today is my tye dye day and I don't even have a full square. I'm off to a good start!
I have been working on another project though that goes along with my hippie summer. "Happy" sacks!!! I knitted one in just over a day and started my second one. I will post more about that tomorrow since getting these pictures uploaded took up half my morning. I need to ingest more coffee and get ready for my day to start!
