three cornered handbag

http://grandmotherspatternbook.com/?p=2290

So far trying out this pattern, is a pain in my ass. I hate it. Its written in another language. I have my mom helping me, but she's in another state and another time zone and having surgery tomorrow. Its annoying as hell. I can't tell how many times I have done and redone the same rows. 

Here is rows 1 - 5

Here is round 1 

Here is Round 2 

Here is Round 3 

Here is first try rounds 5 - 7

Here is 2nd try Rounds 5 - 7

Here is 3rd try Rounds 5 - 7

still trying, and undoing, making sure rounds are even every round, and trying to figure out how to do this pattern. i want this bag so bad and still don't know how to do it. I wish there were better pictures of the bag and I wish there was also pictures of this in progress. I will continue to work on this until I get it.....waiting on mom tho. tired of doing it wrong.

newest challenge....

ok today i'm working on a 3 cornered handbag....vintage, i'm in love with this pattern, and REALLY wanna make it. here's the link: http://grandmotherspatternbook.com/?p=2290 however i don't know what's wrong with me, i can't get it. i'm kinda stumped on the first 3 rows. its like an alien language to me. I'm dying to make it, but can't get my mom on the phone and don't have anyone else i can call for help on this.

i'm making a plea to my blog and any potential readers, if you have made this, can you help me make sense out of this...would you email me and post pictures or anything like that?!

thanks for reading, once i get this done i will post pics. i'm sure. yay i finally figured out how to add a picture!! lol
