Stomping Grapes Complete!

It's done.  Stomping Grapes is complete!  Wheeee!!!!! For some reason, this bag seemed to take longer and draw more tears than any of the others so far.  A says it's because I've added beads and a handle technique I hadn't tried before.  He may well be right, the beads were a real handful.  Literally.  And the handle required ordering, and waiting for two new elements, one of which, the yarn, was out of stock.  That whole experiment added three weeks.  We won't try and add up the bead lead time.  it was all just too painful to try and remember.

All your work is gorgeous! I am very interested in your entrelac shawl. That's how I found you--doing an entrelac search. Do you have a pattern for this?

Just found your link thru Happy knit & crochet, and WOW, I'm so impressed, the purse is beautiful. Freeform can be ugly but also most beautiful, and the colors you're using are so perfectly amazing !!! I suspect I'll be back often to read more.
