the blue blog archives: the bag lady returns

Here's my daria bag, finally starting to look baggy. I'm into the second of three skeins and hoping it'll be enough for a legitimate sized purse with strap. Hey, bonus points to anyone who can tell me what knitted bag pattern I'm trying to recreate here in crochet!

Would that be a crocheted Sophie?

It's really gorgeous -- I love how the colors worked up.

also, if you end up needing another skein to finish the bag, i have one (and only one)...because my mother needed the other to finish her bag when she was one short--let me know and we can make a trade perhaps....

Did I hear you talking about Aline from Knitty??

I'm guessing Sophie also...

ooh ooh I know! Sophie? Looks lovely!

I have the knit happens pattern for the change purse...I am getting inspired to whip it up! Lovely colors...I think mine is the jewel tones...

Eck! Do I remember how to crochet? :)

Sophie?
I really like that yarn. I always fondle it in the store and try to imagine something fabulous to make with it that I would actually use. I think I'm at my limit for knit purses.

It looks a little like Booga J's bag... Love the colors!

I agree with the Boogah hypothesis.

The Chicago bag from the Keyboard Biologist?

That looks like a mock Sak to me!

Oh, I just started my Daria change purse last night and had to work a row this morning before leaving for work. It's hard to put down.

It's a Sophie bag!

LOVE. IT!! I did not guess correctly, Alex, so please deduct $500 from my overall earnings score! Too bad I am not so good at Knitting Jeopardy!
