Purse!
Completely forgot to post these last week when I took them. Oops.
Once I put the lining in I'll try to take better, less yellow-y pictures.
The other side, with my Razr for size comparison.
This style purse is knitted one side's width and twice the length. The beads are pre-strung and slid into place between stitches, meaning there's always the same number of stitches per row, bu the number of beads between stitches gets larger then smaller to form the swags. This is what it looked like before it was folded in half and sewn.
Also, the first of my saris arrived over the weekend, and I think I've decided what to do with it. It's this one, and I think I want to do a late 16th century Venetian gown with it. I think the small, repeating pattern in the brocade will work well.
