Inspiration?!

At first, I was thinking that I'd just like to gaze at my two skeins of Hip Knits aran silk in Blueberry Pancake (which I received in my final gift from my Secret Pal). But then I started to want to play with it as it is so soft to knit with and I had so much fun knitting the One Skein Wonder (by Stefanie Japel) for my friend Katie.

So, here is what I'm thinking...
How about I make myself a One Skein wonder (as pictured above) and then, how about a matching handbag? I just found this free pattern on Zephyr Style and I think its really cute. I am hoping that my friend Louise might be able to help me sew a cute lining in it and I shall have to think creatively about a strap...I'd love plaited purple leather...
