Thank you for your comments on my last post !! :)
I am still on to attempting new things and this time I made this crocheted hand purse with clasp and Chenille yarn . Both the yarn and the clasp were purchased long back . I got the purse handle with sew-in holes from JoAnn's and the variegated Jumbo chenille yarn is from itsybitsy craft store in India . I used 12mm hook size for this yarn .
There are many ways to attach the clasp and most conventional way is to make the purse and then attach it . I did the reverse way - cast the stitches first and then crochet .
I was fine with the stitches showing up on the clasp . I made a rectangular crochet band with Anchor knitting cotton and 2.5 mm hook . I made the chenile yarn bottom separately and and then I sewed it onto that rectangular band . It wasn't a quick and easy thing to sew with half open clasp :( There isn't much space in it , just enough for my phone and some currency notes .
Anshita got all A1s again in grade VIII making us feel proud :) and has moved to grade IX now .
I could not do much stitching last week , hopefully this week I will have some more done .
Have a crafty day!
