Ripple Clutch
Written by Vicky on May 6, 2008 – 5:00 pm -Ever since I learned the ripple stitch I’ve done it to death. Somehow I never get bored of it. I think it’s because of the great effect it makes when you put two colours next to each other.
However much I love the ripple stitch it’s time to put it to bed for a while and do something new. This clutch bag is the last thing I made and just finished this weekend…
I got the idea for the colours from the series of Simon Henwood paintings of Roisin Murphy called ‘Sequins‘
The small pics don’t really show the colours properly but they are turquoise, orange, green and gold (the gold is metallic) yarns.
There’s a zip with a lining and as usual the zip was evil to put in but at least I got a chance to use my zipper foot for the first time. I have so much to learn.

That looks great – it’s so nice to see it all lined. Did you do the “heather” thing with the zip? I could kiss that wonan – she has changed my life with zips. Or maybe I need to get one! The gold really lifts it if you know what I mean x

Thanks flower. I didn’t do the heather zip because I couldn’t work it out with one big piece of crochet for the outside rather than two (does that make sense?). I’ll definitely use it next time I make something with a zip though, its the most genius way to tackle it I’ve ever seen!

Very pretty. It’s great to see it finished, after watching your progress on it.
