The knitting pattern has been available on Ravelry for a few days and now it’s here too!
This clutch uses a biasing lace square pattern. It’s not exactly obvious from the photo, but not important. It’s more like, a bit of lace here, a bit of lace there. The biasing lace squares create wavy edges, hence the finishing angle of the flap. Rather jaunty, don’t you think?
There is a heavy satin used for the lining, to give some body, and shine. (Sounds like a hair care ad!)

I’m mildly interested in cryptic crosswords, so each week I’ll include a clue from our most recent “The Age” cryptic crossword.
If I can work it out, I’ll give what I think the answer is.
If not, I can laugh at the weirdness of the clue.
We never get the paper with the answers, so I’ll never know if I’m right. This may seem like a pointless exercise.

I’ve got no idea about this one, although the last letter must be D
