I Will Try Again!
Second AttemptOver the weekend I worked on my faux Ferragamo Bag. 
I think my first attempt at this
beauty is just OK. I got carried away with the off-white knitted portion of the bag and I need to crochet a larger top, basket-weave, portion of the bag for proper balance. I ended up covering a Target-bought tote bag with copper leather-like handles. I particularly like the curly-cue tassles at the bottom of the bag.

I will persevere until I get this right! Hmmmm? Maybe $1,650 is a fair price for this purse, considering all of the attention and time I'm giving it!

Ellen...your bag looks good, but the original looks like it was knitted on a larger needle. Maybe you should go up to a size 13 needle?

looks great to me ellen!
Yeah, I love the bigger one too, more room to lose my keys in.
You'll get it. I have confidence! I'm trying to copy a bag that I saw in a Monterey Bay catalog...of course, inspired by your lead. Wish me luck!!
you're so amazing. the second attempt looks great!
She came. She stitched. She conquered. It's a knittted coup de grace- take that Ferragamo!
Thanks for the compliments everyone. The second bag is going even slower than the first! I hope to finish it this weekend.
Hey Briana! I heard from your Mom. She sounds extremely cool!
your version looks great!
