Silly little something

Well, durn! The picture didn't turn out very well. The little purse/bag that I crocheted is something I did to keep my hands busy while I gave them a rest from knitting the big heavy jacket. I like it a lot. It has very nice colors but doesn't show well in this picture and I am too lazy to try again. The handles are hard plastic of some kind and are a pretty pearl color. I purchased the handles at a garage sale for .25 cents. Who knows where the crochet thread came from. Another thrift store or garage sale. It is so satisfactory to me to get something from nothing...so to speak.

Powerful words from the psalm, God always knows the right thing to say. Love your jacket and bag. It's so good to see things finished. What's next?

Thank you all for your comments.

Alison, right now I am working on mittens with 6 inch cuffs to go with the jacket. Remember I said that the sleeves turned out too short for the size? The 6 inch cuffs will make up for the too short sleeves. This morning I woke up with plans on making another jacket (same pattern with variations), different colors, different size needles, different what-cha-callit (where the buttons would be if there were buttons). I didn't like the way that turned out on the jacket either. Still, it was greatly satisying to make.
