I wanted to sell handmade crafts online and thought that creating beautiful crocheted purse was the way to go. So I set forth and opened my crochet bible (Reader’s Digest Complete Guide to Needlework) and flipped about for inspiration. I picked this ripple pattern from a variety of shell stitches that was featured in the book and it turned out pretty well for me. I used 2-3 (I can’t remember with certainty) plastic bags to make plarn for this project.
