I have an addiction to purses, bags and totes. I freely admit this. My husband thinks it is hilarious and makes it a point to mock me every time I bring home a new one. Well, I have news for him. Knitting has changed all that. Now, if I want a new purse I can just pick up some yarn and make one.
The one I am working on now is a Christmas gift. I like practicing on gifts before I make one for myself. I try telling myself it is because I am being unselfish, but I know it is really because I want to see what it looks like before I commit to owning one.
I made a diaper bag for my sister using the Lion Brand free pattern for the 7 pocket tote. She is barely pregnant, but is excited to start doing "Mommy" things.
Long story short, thanks to knitting/crocheting, I can indulge both my appetite for purses and my passion for the craft at the same time. Hooray!!
