Pinwheel Purse

I have always wanted to make a stark, black and white, square, SOMETHING for Arianne… This pinwheel purse seemed like a good exercise to learn blocking and not too big a project in my beginner level. I used a chunky yarn instead of the sock yarn recommended and hence I think, the purse had problems self closing as expected. I want to knit a dozen more of these for gifts... soooo cute!
