wow! this is really cute! I was looking to do something just like this and I think this one might be great to practice the cables with! Thank you for making your pattern free!

Hi I was hoping you could help me, i have knitted your bag (cabled clutch) and it looks great but I am stuck on how to go about putting the lining in the bag. I have never made a bag before so i apologize for my lack of knowledge so any instruction you could give me on this part would be very much appreciated.

Oh, also did you put anything behind the magnetic clasp to hide the back of it from showing through the front of the bag?

thank you very much for your time and help!

Hi,

I’m a beginner. What exactly do you mean when you say “EXCEPT do a cable crossing (cross 4 sts; Iâ€™ve put in bold where to cross) every 10 rows?”

Thanks.

hi anonymous,
i didn’t use live stitches to attach the dowel onto the purse. in my post, i mention that i sewed the dowel onto my purse (after i had already cast-off)… by weaving the yarn in each stitch and over the dowel, over and over again. hope that helps!
p.s. and in the future, if you would like to ask questions, be sure to add your email/blog so i can reply to you directly! =)

The clutch is beautiful! What kind of cast on did you do so that you could get the dowel through the cast on row? Also, did you not bind off and just transfer the “live” stitches to the dowel? Thanks!!!

You inspired me after I saw this on your blog today and I started one myself. I have the main part knitted and have sewed the lining in. Have to go to WalMart (that’s the only store where I live) tomorrow and find some dowels and some ribbon. I can’t seem to find magnet buttons though. could you give me some hints of where I could find some cheap? Thanks, flowoxsgarden@hotmail.com
