I recently picked up a ball of
spotlight yarn
Moda Vera in Gypsy...
there was a free pattern on the inside
a bag and purse...
so I thought why not give it a go...
it is a t-shirt style yarn and one ball made both...
the pattern was tricky in places..like the "broomstick" stitch at the top of the bag...
and you will need a 25mm knitting needle to do this...
but I just taped a few standard needles
together and got the same result...
all in all a fast project...

and only took a night to do...
The colour choices were minimal so that was the only
downside...
there is a free pattern of this on the spotlight website here...
why not whip one up this weekend...

I like it! A very beautiful and smart idea :-)
Wow these are so nice, I'm off to have a peek at the pattern, mind you my knittings pretty basic so I might just have to content myself with looking :)

You are a fast crocheter. Good for you. Good luck!:)
That is really a cute purse! Could you substitute a bulky yarn for the moda very gypsy?
They're lovely and so is the colour!
How Beautiful!
Thanks for the link to the pattern!

¡BELLÌSIMOS TUS TRABAJOS!
CARIÑOS ♥
wonderful work!
beautiful work-- and how clever of you to find a way to make a larger needle (why couldn't I have thought of that after searching several stores before finally finding a large enough knitting needle!) lol. thank you for providing the link.
Hi, I linked to your blog and the free bag pattern as part of a January crochet adventure on my blog :) You have a Lovely blog and great patterns.
