Cool Pleated Purse!

I have had these purse handles for about 3 years now and finally got down to making a purse to go with them. The hardest part was deciding what color would compliment all of the colors on the handles. Then I had to decide on a design that wasn't too busy. I wanted the handles to be the eye-catcher of the bag. Lighting never does any justice for the true color of things, but this bag is a coral/orangish color. A pinky orange. I used a Drops Design pattern, which I have used before but with a lighter weight yarn. This time I used Brown Sheep Bulky 100% wool. The handles are plastic but heavy and not cheap! I loved making the pleats and they inspired me to knit a pleated skirt. I love this bag!
