This WILL be a bag

Closer, originally uploaded by kaiwa_4.

I found a simple pattern to knit a purse so I'm trying it out. It only requires a garter stitch, which gave me hope that I could do it.

But the yarn makes it difficult to see the stitches and catch little mistakes.

The original pattern called for the bag to be about 10 inches high, but mine is only about 7 inches high. Live and learn. My second bag will be better.
