We've got handles! We don't, however, have sunlight, so the picture is kinda crap.
I started the handles 4 times using different size hooks. I just didn't think the 3.25 mm hook would work right. I was wrong. It's perfect. I'm about half way done with them.
My day is going to involve sitting in a waiting room, so Mr. Hairy Flower Purse will be adjoining me to get some of his one million ends woven-in.
