I've been mildly fixated by a silk reticule shaped like a pineapple that is at the Kyoto institute recently, even found a version of the pattern in an early pattern book, but havent had a chance to sit and wrestle with the terminology of the Recency notation, so this is a stopgap variation just to satisfy my desire for a purse shaped like a pineapple. It needs beadwork adding to evoke the diamond shaped pattern of the pineapple body, but I like it so far. Its in pure silk and was lovely to work on, body stockinette, tops in crochet.

your pumpkin reticule is wonderful. I love making small bags! I hate to carry purses and a little bag is just the right size to carry the things you really need (license,credit card,tissue). Where did you find the pattern?
thanks marque, this version I made up as I went along, the body is not much more than a stockinette tube with crochet leaves added later
How did the pineapple bag turn out? Would love to see it if you managed to get all the beads on. I'm new to the site btw and absolutely love your hats. I'm new to knitting as well but hope to be able to follow and make up some of yours. I love the witches one with the daisies. Is it fulled or just felt?
The hats are felted from scratch, so starting with carded fibre and working up from there.
