It looks great and looks super with the sweater too!

Your bag is adorable! Thanks for sharing~~

What a lovely handbag! Great job!

Great job! I love the color you chose.

It's beautiful; and so very original.

Your handbag is absolutley BEYOND GORGEOUS! For me that wouldn't have been a "side" project, but a gigantic project all unto its own. :notworthy: Did I mention you did a beautiful job? oh...and I TOTALLY dig the color!!!

Great purse! :thumbsup: I really enjoyed reading the whole story of how you designed this piece. You are talented and it certainly looks like you had fun with this purse. :cheering::cheering:

for your nice comments:woot:

The handbag is beautiful, and so impressive that you designed it yourself!

This is fantastic! I love how you combined ideas from different patterns to make this your own. I'm also impressed at the combination of knitting and crochet in such a beautiful finished object! Nice Work!

Lovely..and I like the subtle shape of the olive itself in the bag shape :)

Oh I just love that! It is drop dead gorgeous!! I like your design much better than the one you first looked at. What a fantastic idea to match your sweater and bag. You absolutely inspire me! :cheering:

:happydance: Great job!!!

:heart: That's really neat! I especially like the way you did the flap--love that flower and button detail :yay:

Oh my gosh, you are so talented. Your sweater and bag are very pretty. Thanks for sharing. What inspiration.

Oh my gosh, that's gorgeous! I absolutely love it! How brilliant are you to use a portion of the sweater pattern? I'd never think to do that...I would've said, "I want a bag almost like this but not quite, so here's my decision--make it the way I don't quite want it or forget the whole project?" :notworthy:

Great job! Love the texture and work!

Love them both. Nice jobs.

Very pretty!

Oh that is so gorgeous and so neat...it must have taken you ages. Great job! :woot:

WOW! That is beautiful & along with the shrug - you should be proud - that is GORGEOUS!

WOW! :passedout:
That is just the neatest little bag I have ever seen! I am glad you showed it next to yourself so we could see its proportionate size! What a great 2 pc set...can be worn together or solo!

Thanks for taking such great care to show us the process! And thanks for sharing your knitted artwork with us, too!

Very creative. It goes great with the shrug.
