And I thought I'd show you how I finished the Juice. I knitted and knitted until I was down to about three yards of yarn.
I'd read about something called the 3-Needle Bind-off. It sounded like it was just the ticket.
So I searched online and found a video tutorial, followed it, and voila! There are others, but this is the one I used and had success. This is what success looks like.
Turned it right-side-out again and I added the handles. I didn't really care for them in the standard installation, so I flipped 'em and created a kind of echo to the shape. (That's how I do my hair, too.)
I carried the purse yesterday and it didn't fall apart, so that's success to me!
