Ticker Tape Yarn



I just finished knitting a bag using the ticker tape yarn. The yarn is a lot of fun to use. I've crocheted a belt and now knitted this purse. I've read on the CP list that folks are having trouble crocheting items using this yarn so I want to try that next. Maybe I'm just not as picky or don't know any better. Amazing how the colors look so completely different in the two pictures. Obviously, background makes a LOT of difference. The picture with the purse hanging is closer to the actual colors.

The yarn is very stretchy so I'll either have to line the purse (I doubt I'll do that) or only carry reasonably lightweight items (more likely). Dimensions of the purse are about 10" wide by about 12" tall.
