MY First Project
I was so excited to start my first project. I had just finished reading "The Happy Hooker" by Debbie Stoller. I was ready to go.
I chose to make the "granny's no square" pattern from "The Happy Hooker". I went to Stitch Therapy with my book in hand to get my yarn and hook. With Maxine's help I picked out a fabulous organic cotton and a G hook.
Then I attended a class at "Stitch Therapy" I took this project to work on. It was a little confusing at first. The teacher was trying to help me and she was a "righty". She kept crocheting in the opposite direction on MY project as me. LOL
This pattern is easy to follow. I took it a step at a time so I wouldn't get overwhelmed. I made my 12 gorgeous motifs, then followed the pattern to put them together. I went to the local hardware store and bought big silver key rings to use on the strap of the purse. I am going to put a bright, colorful lining with a pocket and add some rivets.
Here is a picture of the finished project minus the lining and rivets.
Thanks to Stitch Therapy for the picture of my purse.
