It's been a gift to me, knitting these little purses. What started out as a scarf with a button closure ended up being these, after I ran out of yarn halfway through the scarf. Five little purses for five sweet friends. After almost fourteen years with them, it's my last Christmas here and I wanted to give each of them something special.
Each has a little felted wool pocket inside, seamed into two, to make finding keys and a cell phone easy.
I used two yarns together, and knitted an I-cord for the handles. My MIL's antique buttons added a cute touch to them. Just big enough for a few essentials, and the fact that most of them look like they have a little funny face is icing on the cake.
Good thing I determined to give them all away or I'd be darned tempted to keep a couple for myself. Gift cards to fishing and hunting stores are great, but a few girly gifts are pretty terrific to whip up too.

So cute! I told my daughter we would learn to knit when she turned 10 ( I have 21/2 years to wait). Your daughter, homespun living, and you are my inspiration! Enjoy your last Christmas with your sweet friends!
Blessings,

What a wonderful job you've done Bev. You are doing so well with your knitting. Your friends are going to love them! I can't think of anything more precious than a handmade gift.
Those are adorable, and very creative with the button embellishments!
And just wondering, how did you affix the wool pocket inside?
You are so clever- what great gifts for your friends:-)
