This is a fabulous and fun purse that you can make in any 100% worsted weight wool to suit your taste! I have made it in solids, self-striping and color shift yarns. I have also made it color blocked and striped. It works, no matter what you decide to do. It is fun and functional. More than likely you will end up knitting more than one! There IS homework required for this class. You’ll need to do the required homework to keep up. On average, you will have about 75 rows of knitting to do over the two weeks before class 2. You will receive the pattern (free of charge) on the first day of class.
