Knitting Pattern Review
I applaud Laura on this pattern. It was exceptionally easy to knit! I'm a moderately advanced knitter but this bag was super fun and a beginner could easily conquer it. This was my first time felting a bag and after following the directions in the book i had a felted bag Little Time with No Tears. The yarn is more costly because it is 100% woll and nicly colored but the pattern was so pretty I couldnt resist. Laura woked the hourglass shape and styleled a modern and soft casual bag for every day use.
Designer on a Budget add-on's
I decided to line the purse with a cool Japanese Umbrella patterned fabric, I found some imitation leather handles via Etsy and added floral buttons i found at JoAnn. Here's how you can personalize this bag.
