I can't believe that it took me this long (months) to finish knitting this purse. It is one of the easiest ones to do. We started it as a knit along in my knit group but somehow it got lost by the wayside and I decided to finish it yesterday since my knitted teddybear was all done. bear came out ok. I wish I had put button eyes and nose on it but I wanted my grandkids to be able to play with it without anything coming off. We also did the bear as a knit along. It was more popular than the purse. lol
