Fall Purse

 

Autumn leaf variegated hexagons with black joinings form a stunning bag.

Pattern: Hexagon Purse by Norah Gaughan (published in Knit Simple magazine, Fall 2007)

Finished: September 2007

Made for: Sionan

Yarns: Briggs & Little Heritage (100% wool; 215yds = 113g)

  • half hank of Black; roughly 107.5 yds
Hand-dyed worsted weight wool from Golden Willow Natural Fibers (100% wool)
  • 1 hank of red/orange/yellow variegated; roughly 210 yds
  • total yardage: 317.5 yds
Notes: Bought the wool for this within days of getting the magazine! Love the patt! Made a perfect project for knitting on bus going to Grandparent’s in MN. Actually knit 2 during the 13hrs, each way, with spurts while visiting :) 
Note on the wool: Sharon @ Golden Willow dyed this for me when I couldn’t find anything in the right colors for my red girl  (originally added to R@velry on December 17, 2009)
