  1. Hi! I am currently working on this Aspen Purse (my first project) and I am using a different yarn. How much of the skein did you use to complete this purse? I love the look of what I have done so far, but I need to know if I need to purchase more yarn. The skein I am using is 134 yds. Thanks for your help and the pattern!

    1. You do your chain then work down one side, then you come down the opposite side of the chain completing a loop. Then you keep working in that manner, around in a circle.
