Clara's Knitted Handbag
Rapturous day! Clara finished her very last school project late late last night, and today was her first day of leisure. Her schoolwork had an unfortunate tendency to pile up this semester so the last few weeks have been strenuous for her. But: it's over! She turned happily and immediately to an almost-completed knitting project, the "Daisy" bag from Debbie Bliss' Junior Knits book.
All that was left was to sew up part of a seam. The outside is moss stitch, the lining is stockinette, and the handles are knitted right in.
She did this entire project on her own, and I'm so proud of her knitting!

That is such a pretty color and I really like the shape of the handbag.
This is lovely! Is that mint?
I love her bag- she did a great job! I am trying to learn to knit this summer while we have a lull in homeschooling.
Very pretty - such a talented girl!
Clara, your bag is beautiful! Well done! :)
Congratulations, Clara - on completing your schoolwork and your cute bag! It looks like a good size.
That is a great looking bag and the colours are so nice.
Nice looking bag!! Well done on that school year, too!
Lovely, even reversible, I suppose, depending on ones mood.
How sweet! I love the mint in the bag. So glad she finished and can enjoy her summer.
I would sure be proud of her too! She did a wonderful job :) It's beautiful and the color is perfect :)
Last week was my daughters last week of homeschool...today much spring cleaning to be done...and many more summer books to read.

P.s We love the bag!
Anna, I enjoy following your blog. If you ever feel like it, could you do a post about how your family homeschools, methods, schedules, etc? We are a homeschooling family and the topic is always so interesting to me. I love how classically ya'll live your lives. I was just wondering how that might translate into your homeschooling style.
Wonderful job Clara!! Your stitches are so nice and even.
I love the colors too - just perfect.
Beautiful colors! What a lovely bag! She did a wonderful job.
Beautiful! You have such talented girls!
Very beautifully done. Love the colors.
IMHO this should have counted for homework! I would love to have had a knitting class.
I would gladly have traded algebra for knitting. (especially now that there are calculators!)

Anna,
Just wanted to let you know how very much my Maggie is enjoying Clara's previously loved-in rosy smock. And here's a pic to prove it. :)
