This is a poor picture, taken with my camera phone, but I just HAD to post it right away! From my Secret Pal a really REALLY cool cable knit purse. It's just adorable and I hope she'll tell me where to get the pattern. I love it! And also some beaded stitch holders that I have been coveting for ages. And ... bonus ... some chocolate candies inside the purse. Very nice touch. Thanks so much, Secret Pal!

yeah, really cool purse !!
I am so glad you like the purse! It's more or less from Best Friend in the current knitty, but with a slightly different cable (I only used one twist) and different yarn (Debbie Bliss Cashmerino- I liked the chunkier look of it, which, fwiw, made the double twist on the cable look a little heavy). I am pretty much incapable of following a pattern precisely, or even vaguely, for that matter. Actually, directions in general are something I tend to quickly scan and then immediately disregard....
I did actually end up using the hardware recommended in the pattern, although to be honest I only did so because I accidentally ended up knitting to the pattern's gauge (this NEVER happens to me- I am usually 25% smaller) and it was the only hardware on the entire internet that came in the right size.
I hope you're feeling better after your procedure and are able to count your rows accurately!
