Linen Stitch Purse

"Deceptively easy, decidedly elegant," avers articulate Alfke. "This half-woven-half-knit stitch pattern creates a firm fabric ideal for bags." And it's very beautiful, too. The more we see of this, the more we want a Chanel-style suit in it. But to practice, we use this pattern: thick with dressy details, boundless knowledge, and gentle humour. Alfke is a celebrated teacher throughout North America, and knows exactly how to make the possibly intimidating seem laughably easy. Try it and see.
