Lace
Purse – I used the
lace sample from Amy's class, folded it like an envelope,
add a button & you have a small purse.
Cherry
Scarf You can see it has several split
ribbed portions to draw the scarf through. I made my scarf
all off-white except for about 5 split ribs that I knit
in various colors.
