Purses, Purses
I recently finished a few purses. And finally got around to taking some pictures of them and some pictures of a few older purses I have made.
This one is made out of Bernat Wool:

I am Grad student, and a new mom. I have been crocheting off and on since I learned from my Aunt when I was 8 but a few years ago I started crocheting constantly. As with my quilting/sewing, I have at least three different projects on the go and dozen other projects I am dreaming of doing.

Nice purses; your designs? The last photo is a repeat of the record cover.

I love them! I think my favorite is the felted bobbles.
Wow! Nickela, I just checked out your Flickr photo stream. You have made a lot of amazing stuff. Your baby looks adorable in the overalls! I need to make a bag using your idea with the record covers. I am really impressed with the felted stuff. What is your method for felting? If you don't mind my asking. mad for crochet!
Hey thanks for the compliment! I just use my washing machine to felt. Sometimes it takes several 'washes' to get the results I want - I think it depends on the stitches used and your tension. But I love felting, its so forgiving!
Do you let it go through the spin cycles too?
Sometimes depends what the object is. When I have they usually require a little extra shapping afterwards before air drying.
