I call this pattern JRS(Just The Right Size) purse. It is my felted adaptation of some I have seen over time. I decided it should have no seams-no sewing- all in one piece. It can be expanded, contracted to fit exactly what you want…try it in a black/plum alpaca for evening quite elegant.
The Computer seems to have been down for ever. Hard drive on the laptop DIED dead….I never thought it would have been such loss, I could not get on Betweenstitches to edit or write. oh how one gets use to doing things a certain way…then gone… and I was just getting better at loading pictures … now to learn that all over again…My son came over today and got most of everything back on track plus more. I learned I had 3805 comments -guess what I learned to do today? right! how to manage the comments (with his help of course)and after all that he learned to knit. Men learn the mechanics of knitting so fast… we covered almost 3 lessons in one today… longtail cast on,knit cast on, knit, purl, stitch position,tear back, pick up, tension, garter stitch, stockinette stitch.circular needles.It was great. I think men focus and “one track” ideas and procedures easily..
what a great day!!!!
Hopefully I’ll be up and back to this site on a regular basis…

For the last 3 weeks, a new beginning class started on thursday nights.What a great group it is. Here is a picture if Heidi’s sampler wash cloth. What a good job Heidi...All the Girls picked up the “how to” very well…and have just moved on with great gusto. They all will be starting a sweater vest with side opening and detailed pattern…what fun to start a garment. I can hardly wait.
