Wristlet

After my favorite wristlet/clutch bit the dust, I was determined to replace it with something handmade.  This is the solution to that conundrum:

I'm working on writing up a pattern for this little beauty.  It is done with a combination of knitting and crochet, and has very little seaming.  The most challenging part of it is the lining, but even that isn't so bad.  I'm thinking of making a version with a button flap too for those people who cringe at the thought of sewing in a lining.

I was hesitant about the zipper at first, but now I love it.  
Also, there is only ONE end to weave in with this.  I think I may be the laziest knitter/crocheter ever!

  5. Thanks guys! Hopefully I'll have the pattern up and running soon -- I'm looking for a good commercially available yarn to substitute for this yarn as it was recycled yarn!
