Kathy's Purses

My cousin has been knitting and felting purses of wool and novelty yarns. They are everyone unique and, well, just delightful! She has done a wonderful job with them They are all lined and have handy pockets inside as well. She took them all (I think she said she knitted 60 of them!) to the fabric store and picked out the fabric for the linings individually so they'd be sure to match. There's nothing generic about Kathy's purses! She worked on some of them when they were up and I intended to get a photo of her and all the bags, but time just flew by and next thing I knew everything was packed and we were saying goodbye!Well, if you are anywhere near Oakland, CA this coming weekend, do go see for yourself ... and tell Kathy I sent you! Kathy and her purses are not to miss and the Terrace is also worth the trip. :)
And if you can't get to Oakland and want to make your own, weave two 12" squares (on your Hazel Rose Loom, of course) with a wool yarn and whatever novelty yarns you have at hand. Sew them together and baste the opening and toss in the washer. After than you can line it, add handles or a strap... whatever, and you'll have a great bag.
