I was too stubborn to just put the purse down and slowly back away. Nice and easy.
I modified the pattern to make it 'look right'. Well.....sort of right. When I started on the strap - which used the same built in I-cord technique on the edges, I decided to just follow the damn pattern word for word out of spite. (Besides, it is much easier to rip out 9 stitches p/row than 40 if it looked REALLY bad) Low and behold about 10 rows later, I realized that it WAS right all along and that the knitting just needed to progress a little to allow the edge to naturally "roll" to make the edge. I AM a moron.
**lesson learned - if you've already consulted the Internet for corrections/clarifications on a 2 year-old publication and found none....TRUST THE PATTERN.
Anyway, it is nearly finished. I lined it yesterday and as soon as I stop procrastinating about paying the bills this morning, I can go sit down and sew it together. Will post pictures later.
