Ute's Purse

This is a purse I made last night for my friend Ute. Her birthday is soon and she loves pink. I winged this pattern, however I recall seeing one similar many places...so my eyes borrowed ideas I guess rather than reading a pattern. Make sense? And its not just one place so haven't a clue to who to give credit.

The purse took about 3 hours to make and is three strands of RedHeart Soft and used a J hook. Its all one piece starting with a base , all done in HDC. And some lovely eyelash yarn I got off clearance at Wal-Mart for 2 whole bucks!

Joe, the hubby said it so strong yet soft , I guess thats a good thing!

Let me know what ya think please! Also any suggestions for making the joining rounds look cleaner would be much appreciated!
