Teeny purse No. 1 is done, but I can't say that I am thrilled with it. I think I need to increase a bit after the initial few rows. they have to be a specific size to fit the metal clasp. It seems too narrow. In my mind's eye I wanted it to flare out a bit more. I also tried to decrease the bottom in a spiral pattern which made it roundish and also narrow. And since I was knitting from the purl side for the pattern, the spiral shows as purl on the outside. You can see the knit side in the second picture. The bottom is badly done on the outside. I really like the star stitch which is FAR easier that I imagined it would be. The last picture is a detail of the stitch. Pretty- right?? So now I'm re-knitting it in a pretty teal with the increases and I think I'll just cast off the bottom edges together for a flat seam. Ill post pictures as it goes. Wish me luck!
