I broke my hooky.

Seriously! I feel like the crochet gods don't want me to make this purse.

First, I bought the yarn before Christmas and then I was so busy with my Christmas projects that I never got started. When I finally sat down to make this, I ran out of yarn only to find out that it had been discontinued!! Gaaah!!

THEN - As luck would have it, I seriously just *happened* to drive by the yarn company's retail outlet (what are the chances?) and they had exactly enough yarn in a "seconds" bin for me to finish my project. The downside was that the dyelot wasn't the same so the colour was off. I was so thrilled to find the same yarn, that I ripped out the whole purse to start over so I could blend the old and new yarn and disguise the colour difference.

And today, JUST as I was about to start the handles and finish it up.... MY HOOK BROKE!!!!!!!!!

I smell defeat.

I need to walk away from this project for a while, it's making me angry,
