Dora…You must just love what you do. I think you have a great camera too. I am teaching myself how to knit. I love to crochet. I find it easy to keep busy with yarn & hook in hand. Keep up the good work and thanks for your facebook help !!!

Thius is very helpful and I love the bag. However, please learn where to use “affect” and “effect”. The word in the last sentence of the first paragraph should have been “affect”.

I’m using the Lion Brand Fisherman’s Wool and really loving this yarn! Thank you Lion! I’ve never used this yarn before but will definitely be using it again. The only problem I’m having is that I can’t seem to get a good picture of it.

This really helps understand the “rhythm” of the pattern. It has a mirror, symmetry with the center.

Thanks Jennifer! I think I am going to try sewing one and if it works ok I will sew the other one as well. Also, I think what I am going to do is flip the purse inside out and sew tip of the bottom of the lining to the bottom of the purse – then I will flip the purse back right side out and do the normal sewing at the top as the pattern advises. That way hopefully the lining will not pull out, which is what I expect could happen if you only sew the top of the lining.

Jessica – great job!!! I am SO impressed with your work, color choices, and with the lining selection! Are you going to sew the lining or fuse it?
That was one limitation of the Martha’s yarn, is that it only came (at least at my store) in pastels. I adore the grey.

Here are some pictures of my sides for the two purses and the materials I am using to line them. I am going to head to Joann’s to check out some handles.
