Cabled hand bag

[pretendingsanity]

Here's my take on an expensive clutch.

Here's my first one, it's pretty teeny, my 3 year old uses it.



And here's my most recent one, I modified it from the first to have a handle (it's too hard to cary a clutch around when you're holding the hands of two little kiddies.)

How do you get the wood not to slip off the stitches?

that looks really cool!

They are just so beautiful!!  Well done and thanks for sharing!  I am not much of a knitter, but if I can ever get my head around cableknit I will be giving one of those bad boys a go...are they difficult?

Your 3yr old must be the best accessorised kid on the block!

Thank you all!! No they're not that difficult at all!  And just a little dab of glue on the end stitches will keep it from sliding off.

Wow- the purple one looks exactly like the overpriced one!  They're beautiful.  I'm jealous... I want one!

Those are so adorable!  The first one is like, identical to the expensive one! I love both of them, good job!

I just made the pattern up.  It was pretty easy to look at the Margaret and Nicole bag and figure it out from there.
