Sounds so mysterious - anything you can share? I've been missing your knitting posts. ;)

Those are so cute!!

Which leads me to ask: do you use a pattern for these? Or have any hints about dimensions and such? I'm thinking about trying something similar for a project to keep my hands busy over the holiday break... :)

I made the patterns for each of these up myself, cabled patterns from various sources (I can suggest some if you'd like). Using Lion Brand's Wool-Ease Thick & Quick, I plan a pattern about 35-40 sts wide using size 10 1/2 needles and a tight gauge. Then basically I knit that until the yarn is all but finished, block it, sew up the sides and attach the handles. The finished purse body is about 8"x8".

I may upload some of my patterns once I go on break this week. If you want any more info/clarification, let me know and I'll include it in that post!
