Previously this was a for-sale pattern with $1 for each sale contributing to a Kiva.org loan.
Now I want to open up the giving by making the pattern a free download with the request that sometime in the week after downloading you find a way to help someone you encounter, friend or stranger. You likely are the type of person to do so regardless, but please become open to even more opportunities to help and see what happens.

This intermediate knitting pattern results in a sturdy purse that is a perfect size for carrying lunch
and a paperback, but is not so large you can’t find your cellphone. It looks great with jeans or office
casual wear, and the lovely felted texture makes it a pleasure to use. Warm glow provided by your gift
toward building a better world.
Finished size 9 inches high, 9 inches wide and 5 inches deep from front to back.
Pattern stitches provided in both chart and written form.
Knitted in one piece, no sewing required
