Little Things That Amuse.


This little knitted purse is an exercise in bead knitting which was fun to do while away on vacation. Working on something that involves close pattern following and counting beads somewhat like on an abacus took my ever thinking/designing/business organizing mind off into a quiet place with a pretty result at the end.

Though I love hand knitting, I’ve been doing it since seven years of age and started my business with it, I rarely get time to do it. When I do get down time I sometimes just want my hands to rest.

This is my second little bag from the same pattern, the pattern is from BagLady, and I purchased the beads, cotton and needles separately.

This little thing really amuses me.
