the happiest hooker.

This purse is inspired and slightly modified from a pattern in Debbie Stoller's great book Stitch 'n Bitch: The Happy Hooker which is a great book for contemporary crochet and a great reference guide to use when experimenting with new styles and stiches. I just fell in love with this purse and when I found this yarn and these handles at Joann's I knew this purse had to be made for a great spring purse. I've got it listed in my etsy shop and hope to have another one ready in the next couple of days. I was going to make myself a blanket this break, but with all the slipper custom orders I just don't know if I'll have the time... I miss making things for myself every once and a while.

Gorgeous!!!!!! I don't have that book, but I borrowed it from the library once. I'd like to have my own copy though.

You offer to line it? I myself hate lining bags, oh how I hate it! I admire your willingness to do that!
