how big is that particular one....How many stitches did you cast on for that one?

[piratekittie]

Ok so maybe I'm retarded but how do you get the wooden handles on both sides? Was I not supposed to cast on the regular way? And if I wasn't supposed to is there a way to fix it w/o ripping it all out?

[pretendingsanity]

Just sew the yarn around the second handle through the cast on edge. 

My first bag I tried casting on with selvage yarn, but it was a big pain.

Ohhh ok. And then for the other side I bind off and just sew it on the same way?

That makes things much easier... Thank you

Those are soooo adorable.....

I've been putting off trying cables (i admit it, i was scared!  ), but these cute little clutches are just the inspiration i needed!

I started making one...almost done....now i just need to find some handles!  (btw, using some 100% merino wool i got at smiley's sale in manhattan....let me just say about 1.5 balls of $1.50 yarn sure beats $130 bucks !)

***I finally finished!***

I love this design....so cute!  Here's what it looks like:



AND i accidentally made it reversible!

Hey what yarn did you use it's sooo pretty!

PS: I was just looking at the site where you got the inspiration and I can't believe that they sell PLAIN stockinette ones for over $100!!! Crazy...

  I love them!! Great job on all of them! I have been inspired

did you guys see that for fall shes going to use.....circled wooden handles.

so if you dont want to knit a handle I guess that's another option
