I’m always up for a challenge and when I got the idea to convert my Granny Spiked My Ripple Blanket pattern into a purse, I had to go with it. Of course, I can see where my stitching and tension could be improved, but for a prototype, it came out fairly well. Also, don’t be afraid to change the closure strap and handles to match your preference.
