This is a collection of knitting patterns for bags, purses, spectacle cases and wallet brought together in an ebook; in total there are 15 patterns/variations included. Some of the designs are available as single patterns. The majority are beaded but a few designs do not use beads because some yarns are so beautiful they need no further adornment!
The ebook includes the patterns for the designs and some simple guides to help you make your chosen purse/bag. It is not intended to be a comprehensive guide to making purses/bags or to beading as there are many reference resources available on the internet and in print that provide this.
There are introductory sections on frames, beading, yarns and fabric which will help you think about your design and colour scheme, and a section with blank charts to help you design your own bead patterns. There are also some useful tips on threading beads and making up the bag/purse/case.
Designing different purses and bags is great fun. With the information in this book you will be able to choose beautiful materials to help you make pieces which will be great as gifts or simply as pretty things for you to store your treasures.

Like many I took a couple of decades off my knitting and crochet whilst my working life took over, but now I am catching up. I always have a hook or pair of needles close by; my fingers do not like to rest. After reacquainting myself with my old hobbies, I progresed to creating my own designs. It seemed a natural progression for me, as did running crochet workshops in the NW of England.
Those who have tried my designs will know that I love creating simple designs that look very effective, after all life doesn't need to be complicated! And I understand that many people like a bit of television or music knitting/crochet, so the easier they are the better it is to enjoy the world around you whilst enjoying your craft.
