Rick rack purse with Kool aid dyed yarn
Well, I have an apron that I got from my SILs and was inspired by the color combination. I bought the yarn from Knitpicks.com: orderd dark brown but also ordered some natural yarn to dye with two different shades of blue Kool aid. I decided to make the handles longer to put over my shoulder and the bag is 10-11" tall instead of 5-7".


Here is the yarn drying


The yarn all rolled up


Here is finished purse with a matching cell phone holder (I made up the pattern but it didn't felt as well) You can't see the different shades of blue on the photo but in person, it looks marbled


The inside of the purse

Very cute! Kinda reminds me of 1950s retro style!
