Mimi is done in Rowan's Chenille. Being a very dark grape color, it doesn't lend itself to be photographed very well. I was curious how a lacey knitted handbag would hold up with the minimum essentials : purse, phone, lipstick, eyeliner, etc etc.
Unfortunately not very well.
Very pretty to look at (lace design is Frost Flowers from Barb Walker's Knitting Treasury), this was made using yarn leftovers from another beaded top (to be featured next). I lined the inside with white cotton material to bring out the pattern. The bag can't take too much weight - will sag and stretch.
