The Turquoise Crochet Purse I made

Last Tuesday night at knitting group one of the girls that works at the shop was leaving when I came in and I saw her purse. She told me she made it and what yarn she used. I had to make this purse! Now remember I have only had one crochet class (I prefer knitting more). She told me the pattern was really easy and I should try it. Her purse yarn was lime green but I was leaning more towards the turquoise. My every day purse I use is lime green and I wanted a different color. So I brought the yarn home and started to work on it the next night. I had it done in 3 nights!! Here it is:


I bought some more yarn on Saturday to make another one in periwinkle and white! I think I am hooked on making purses now.

    Sherri, I'm amazed at your knitting and crocheting talent. I remember you just learning not long ago. I've been knitting since I was a young girl and I wouldn't have the patience to make a bag. It's gorgeous!

    That's a beautiful bag Sherri! I'm impressed that you had it done in 3 nights. I haven't crocheted in ages, would this be hard for a beginner? Can you email me the pattern as well? Thanks! redladysreadingroomATgmailDOTcom

    Can you email me a copy of the instructions? I haven't really crocheted since I was in grammar school (a long time ago) and forgot the stitches that I learned from back then. I remember crocheting a bag with this stitch! This is the "forgotten" stitch, I've been looking for! Thanx so much for sharing! donacrane@gmail.com
