Sophie is a creation of Julie Anderson of Black Sheep Bags, our friends at Magknits showcased her pattern. http://www.magknits.com/warm04/patterns/sophie.htm She is crafted using Lions Wool Ebony and Ocean Blues. The conche is a thrift store find. 
I love her dearly~
More photo’s at the blog, including a shot of our Mighty Huntress Midnight after My Sophie…
I love the color combo - great job!
I love how you did the colors! It’s wonderful!
Thank you both~
Jan I know you are a kitty lover. You should check out the shot I got of our Midnight going after the bag in a tree. It’s hilarious. I had to rush over before she jumped on to it. :lol:
very nice! 
The button is a great addition!
Oh that is too cute! She’s a cute kitty and you got a great shot of her with the purse!

Beautiful! 
And the photo in your blog with Midnight
Your bag is beautiful. So stylish. I love it.
Wow, that is lovely!!
That is just beautiful!
I love it! So stylish and classic!
Thank you everyone~
I knew I had a winner as soon as I pulled it out of the wash, well maybe after a few good tugs. lol
I would be remiss not to say here, that if you make this bag, be sure to really give some good twists to that icord handle before you graft. I hurried through and now I wish I had taken more time. Also if you make it with the bottom ten rows in a different color, be aware that when it is weighted, the bottom does show. I’m working on figuring out a way to stabilize it now. You could always make the entire bottom the contrasting color, and not worry about stabilizing at all.
It really is a fun, fast, economical project.
Thank you also for checking out the blog.
I made mine a solid color that goes up a little bit for that very reason. I still would like it more flat bottomed though. And my handle is not twisted tight enough. Oh well it was an experiment with stash yarn. :lol:
…and Ronda~
Yes I am so loving the blog. I can yak away to my hearts content, all about knit and life and knit and life. Wonderful.

I am a professional photographer, one of my many hats, and probably the one I love the most, yes even more than knitting. With my lens I am afforded the opportunity to capture the beauty I see, and share it, so that others can as well. There is a few links at the blog to some of my work.
Thank you both for posting at the blog.
Jan~
It’s beautiful. You hot pink chick you. Your handle looks much better than mine.
More Sophies!More Sophies! :cheering:
Thanks! I think the picture of the handles look better than real life. :rollseyes: I want to make the bigger version of Sophie next.

I do too!
I have my Mom and Sister on a scout for the pattern at an LYS near them.
Great minds.
