Vintage Bubble Bag

This looks like a very tacky toilet seat cover to me. Hopefully, after I send it through the wash to felt it, it will look like a purse. This bag took less than a week for me to knit & I knit the whole thing continental style, carrying the yarn in my left hand. I must admit that I felt like a total uncoordinated mess throughout the process. Not a master of continental knitting yet, but I'll keep practicing.

The pattern for this purse is from the book Pursenalities by Eva Wiechmann. For yarn, I used 3 skeins of Cascade 220 and 2 skeins of Smash.
