Closeup of Bag
A more detailed picture of the yarn I used. I got it at Jo-Ann's and it is called "Sensations: Licorice" in purple. It was a thick/thin 100 % wool yarn made of 2 strands: 1 purple and 1 yellow/orange/pink/brown.

I'm sad to say that I haven't been able to get ahold of this particular yarn since I knit this bag. Which is a shame because I really liked it. I hope you find what your looking for out there somewhere. Good luck!

Where did you get a pattern for this bag? It is absolutely gorgeous! Or did you just make up a pattern?
I am a new knitter and have been getting JoAnn yarns on sale online, but it seems like it is hard to find patterns for them, and I am too much of a novice to know how to make substitutions for other patterns...
I am getting some of this yarn (in another color, unfortunately), and would like to make a purse like this.
Thanks for any help you can give!

Thanks for the compliment. The bag was loosely based on one I had seen in the April 05 issue of Knit It! magazine.
The basic idea for the pattern was this: I knit a garter stitch rectangle to make the bottom of the bag. I then picked up stitches along all the sides. I knit in stockinette stitch and then an inch from the top I added a string of fun fur yarn. I bound off then added some knitted handles.
This is a similar pattern you can follow: http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter02/PATTsuki.html
That version is knit from the top down.
I hope this is a little helpful.
