Mohair Slip-Stitch Purse

Mohair slip-stitch purse beginning

This is as far as I've gotten in a couple of days work; the first part was a bit fussy for some reason but it's going better now.  I like the striped effect for a handbag; it should be colorful!  I didn't make this one as big as I had intended at first.  I looked up the cost of the fiber and it was more than I realized.  So I'm hoping to get two bags out of this yarn, to reduce cost of materials.

 

I received the Spring Spin-Off yesterday, and took a few minutes to look it over last night.  Lots of knitting projects that are beyond my current skill but some nice spinning tips.  I haven't read every page yet but I did enjoy a wonderful article about sheep in Nova Scotia.  The illustrations of women spinning were beautiful!
