A post four years in the making

In October 2007, I taught Issy to knit. She has slowly, every few months since then, worked on knitting a rectangle, which would eventually become this purse:

Last week I was going through my yarn basket and I found her knitting and she set to it and finally finished it. To say she was excited about finishing it would be an understatement. She was elated. It needed a few finishing touches though. We sewed up the sides.

Bought a pretty button,

Sewed in a liner and added a little clasp for the button,

And she has a purse that she knit herself!
