Somehow I forgot to post this picture when I finished this project. This was the purse I knitted for Danielle for their wedding. She loved it. The yarn is Sinfonia mercerized cotton and the pattern is from Knitting the Easy Way by Terry Kimbrough. I have the book with the blue cover but mostly I only see the book with the red cover – I’m unsure if both books have this pattern. There are two Beaded Wedding Purses in the book. Mine is adapted from the “traditional version”. It was a fun knit.
Inside of the purse, Mark and I put a picture of Corey as a baby. Mark wrote a sweet little poem. I’ll have to attach that to this post later.
I just wanted to thank you for posting this photo along with the book information. I borrowed the blue -cover version once, and made this exact purse, but have since lost touch with the person I borrowed it from, so I had no way of confirming the book’s existence (Ravelry.com doesn’t have a complete list of projects in this book), so you’ve really helped me out. Thanks!
You’re very welcome – I love that purse – so does my daughter-in-law. Their colors were red and black so it was beautiful for their wedding. I never see the blue version of that book. I got it on clearance at a book store and have never seen it since.
