The Wedding Purse is done:
The lace edging is from Barbara Walker’s Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns and is called the Queen’s Edging (page 373) — the edging is very fun to knit. I knitted the bag out of one skein of Dale “Stork” color #2, 100% fine cotton, on Size 1 bamboo double points. The beads are Japanese silver lined size 8, color XLT Sapphire (138 total beads used). I lined it in a natural cotton fabric. And there you have it.
Wow. That’s really beautiful. I’ve finished the knitting on my second one, and it’s up in my sewing room to block. I’m pleased, my beading pattern worked out.
