No longer are crafts the sole domain of the sweet old spinster. Nope, knitting is not just for Nana Catherine with her tidy grey chignon and calico aprons. Crochet is more than just your Aunt Sophie's night in front of the TV, watching "Queen For A Day" and needlepoint is so much more than your Mom on prescribed Dexedrine in the 60s with a little too much energy, ya know? Now handmade stuff is chic... a little knit one purl two and then a little taste of chocolate is the thing to do with the girls. And what better to carry to Noe Knit on San Francisco's 24th Street than a very vintage, very chic, very big needlepoint handbag. Roomy enough for a couple of skeins of Colinette and your Addi needles (not to mention an iPod for when the girls with toddlers start talking about sippy cups), a pink Razr and a wallet the size of a big mouth bass. Black wool with muted rose, peach, sage and taupe flowers and leaves, it is trimmed in black leather with a leather handle and a gilded clasp that will remind you of a bobbin. Brass protective feet and and an olive leather interior with two patch and two zippered pockets, it measures 15" wide and 12" high with a single 7" handle. Excellent condition. $205.00 |
