This is my second ever finished project! I learned how to knit in December and I've been obsessed. I planned out the overall idea for this handbag and then improvised once I got started. I'm absolutely thrilled with the result. Right now I'm debating on whether to give this to my wife or keep it for myself even though I don't think I'll use it often.
Yarn is James C Brett Marble, knitted on 4.5 mm needles
Nice one!
Did you find it to be a fragile/fiddly process to add the zipper?
A bit fiddly for sure. I threaded sewing thread through the stitches in the cast off. It wasn't very secure so I glued the back of the stitches. Not sure if that was the best method but it feels better now ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
That's super cute, congrats on the milestone! It's addicting to design and create your own stuff ๐
