Your Basic Bag

.
What self-respecting girl doesn't have a zillion purses and bags? Although I've knit mostly sweaters, I am always on the lookout for the perfect knitted bag. This one is from Sally Melville's The Knit Stitch. It has a lot of significance for me because I knit it during a very stressful time in my life. I had just torn my left ACL in a skiing accident and was limping around with a brace and crutches. Then a week after that, my boyfriend was in an accident while he was snowmobiling. I flew across the country to be with him in the hospital for 3 weeks. This was all I had to work on, bedside, while he recuperated. We're all better now and the purse turned out perfect.
