Taking the ballband out of the kitchen


This purse pattern was inspired by the mega popular "ballband dishcloth" pattern. The dishclothes are great, but not something you can just haul around with you to show off, know what I mean? I had so much fun making this, but as Hubba Bubba pointed out, "don't you have a lot of knitted purses?" I must confess, I do. It is probably my favorite thing to make. I have 5, with plans and materials for at least one more. So this pretty little purse is headed to my Secret Pal. Lucky her!

Comments:
Oooh, Sarah...cool and ever so clever. Lucky Secret Pal indeed!
 
Genius!
 
Inspired!
 
that is so cute! You are so clever!
 
So can I get the pattern for this beautiful piece of functional art?
 
Here's hoping that I am your pal!
 
Just to clarify, I meant the adjustments to make it a bag, not the ballband pattern, I have that part. Thanks.
 
I have a shoulder bag using the ballband pattern on my "to do" list. Your bag looks great - good color combination.
 
I'll follow up with a post of instructions within the next few days. I'm tickled y'all like it!
 
It's stunning! thank you for being willing to share your instructions with us, Sarah!
 
hee hee. i know you. and you're famous now.
hey y'all, i know her.
 
Your bag looks great! Really cool!
 
Oh great! Something else to put on my to-do list! (just kidding)(although it IS going on the to-do list) Good idea. Besides is it even possible to have too many purses?
 
That is just too much. Really. Now I'm going to be making bags like I'm crazy too...not just dishcloths! Super.. :D I bet my super tired of hearing about knitting boyfriend is gonna be THRILLED. :o) I love this idea. YAY
 
Great choice on the lining! I love it!
 
I gotta say it's great! I've never been a huge fan of felted bags,(fun to make, but just not my personal fave) but man-oh-man I can dig that ballband bag. I'm going for handles tomorrow, awaiting further instruction!
 
Wow! I'm VERY impressed! I'll echo those who are hoping to be your Swap Pal1 :)
 
Adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Could you please post directions for your purse- I would love to know what modifications you made.
