Cabled purse - done!

Cabled purseWell, kinda done - it still needs some type of closure but I haven't decided on what yet. I knitted this up in about 6 hours - it's Brown Sheep Burly Spun - a super chunky wool. I love, love, love the color! It took me a couple of days to put it all together though. Took me a while to line it - I made one that wasn't big enough so I had to add more fabric to it. I even put pockets in the lining - so I have somewhere to stash my iPhone! I didn't realize that the lining would 'squish' when I put the handles on - so the pockets kind of gap - but that's okay I'll just fill them up! The only thing that's really bad is that the handles cracked (cheap wood from JoAnn's). I glued them together and then spray painted them with black lacquer. Since it's not for sale I'm not going to worry about it. I really like this though and it looks way better in person than in the photos.

That is so COOL -- I hope it is as much fun to carry as it is to look at! I wish I could see the pattern better, but those are my most favorite colors. Too bad about the handles, though I can't see any cracks.
