No woman can have too many bags to carry her stuff--and no knitter or crocheter can ever have too many purse patterns! From top needlework designers Rita Weiss and Jean Leinhauser come 100 of the very best, in a variety of sizes, styles, and colors. They range from a tiny amulet bag to wear as a necklace to a giant felted tote, and include backpacks, beach bags, and elegant evening clutches. There's a jeweled iPod case, a special carry-all for a yoga mat, and a traditional string bag for a bottle of wine. And for that special child: a purse shaped like a toy elephant or one that's a teddy bear! Each one features detailed instructions and a magnificent photo of the finished project.
This book contains an impressive array of knit and crochet purse projects - from funky bags to party clutches and everything inbetween. It's definitely a worthy addition to my library.
Handbag Heaven

Finally, a BIG book devoted to handbags, and many of these I would make. There are more patterns for crochet than knitting. I dont know how to knit yet, but I plan to learn and the main reason I am interested is to learn to make all the really creative and cute knitted handbag patterns that are available now. There are some nice knitted purse patterns in this book as well. The book uses novelty yarns as well as the old standby yarns. I like the layout of the book because in the front there is a picture of each purse and then there is a picture of the purse and the pattern follows. The top corner of the page tells you if it is a knit or crochet pattern. If you are into purses, you'll probably like this book
