linen clutch

For this clutch, I used handpainted 100% linen. I didn't use a pattern, but just started knitting on size 3 needles in a seed stitch until I used up almost all the yarn. I sewed the edge seams and then decided to use the needles I was knitting with as the handles. I picked up stitches to join the top of the purse with the needle and then glued the end stitches in place so they wouldn't fall off. I sewed in a patterned fabric around the top perimeter of the bag.
