Knit Towel Ring Handbag

for the person on the go...
I saw someone use bathroom towel rings as handles for a purse on some craft knitting show I watched on TV forever ago and decided to give it a go.<BR><BR>I lined mine with some fabric from an apron my sister-in-law snagged from a theater that was cleaning out its wardrobe closet, and borrowed (litterally... when I get home I hafta put them back!) the towel rings from my bathrooms for the handles. <BR><BR>This was my first real attempt at cables, and though they worked, the yarn didn't show them off very well. Then I ran into a design flaw when I didn't give the sides enough opening to actually OPEN the purse, so I have to twist the rings towards the inside to open it. I guess it's kinda like a security feature?
