Unfinished Circular Pop Tab Purse (crochet)

Recently I hit burnout #1 in the midst of my Yoshi blanket. Since I couldn't bring myself to even think about making another Granny Square, I decided to mess around with the bajillion pop tabs I have and have been wanting to try and crochet a purse with.

Photobucket
Tons and tons of pop tabs!

Now on to the (semi) final product. Drum roll please....

I wish that the pop tabs had shown more but there's always next time! haha

Like I said, I was totally winging the pattern. There wasn't really any hope of me being able to replicate it for the back so I just decided to do a solid circle with all the colors and hope that it would work out. Magically it did; size, number of stitches, everything!

It needs a handle and lining and I can't sew very well so I have no idea when it's actually going to be done. I'm very proud of it since it's my first original pattern even though I don't intend on keeping it for myself (I love the colors but it's too small for my liking haha). I know I couldn't possibly write up a pattern for it but if someone really wanted one, I could try and explain what I did. At the least I could give some pointers...

Hope everyone likes! :)
