Since yesterday, I have been frogging this particular sleeve so many times… I know I will do it properly next time but I just want to make sure I am in the right mood to do it…
So I decided to talk to you about something that made me happy 
. I was so chuffed to see my beaded knitted purse pattern in Simply Homemade issue 3!! As usual, this magazine is packed full of all sorts of crafts for your home. There are projects for decorating your own glass, embelishing baby clothing etc. So fun!
Simply Homemade Issue 3
In recent months, I have been asked to create more knitted purse patterns. I was so lucky to have been given an opportunity to publish the pattern in the magazine.
There are lots and lots of pic to help you make the purse. You can't miss this issue!
This beaded knitted purse pattern is quite unique because it is knitted using a circular technique. The pattern for the beads is simple. This means if you can knit with magic loop method, but haven’t yet tried beads-knitting, this pattern is ideal for you.
The purse has two layers: beaded outer and stockinette stitch interior. All you need is 2 balls of Jamieson’s of Shetland Heather and exactly 174 beads to make this purse.
In order to make sure you can follow the pattern, there are many pictures in the magazine to help you knit the purse
This is made with wooden beads - Urban version. Yarn: Rosewood (#236), beads: brown round wood beads 6mm (2 strands).
What I made sure, when creating this pattern, was to make the design versatile and customizable. You can use different colours of yarn and beads to make it your special OOAK.
Bridal version with pearl beads. Yarn: Natural White (#104), beads: light beige Toho Seed Beads size 3 (4 bags).
Hope you like it!
