I found the pattern for this lovely Bible Reticule on the Ravelry.com database, and decided that I had to make one for Easter. Seeing as I started knitting on Palm Sunday, there was a bit of a race going on. Happily, I made it and finished the project early on Holy Saturday. I gave it the name "Wisdom and Innocence" for the white yarn with white pearl beads (Innocence) and the clever stitch work all over it (Wisdom).
I made this project in a smaller size, so as to fit my pocket-sized Bible, the dimensions of which are 4"x6"x1".

The front has the Scroll pattern - I put pearl beads in the seven centers of the scrolls, as well as in the ruffle around the edge.

...and the back has the Elfin Lace stitch.

I am planning on making one of these for my mother, as well as making another in red crochet thread for my book of prayers.
A blessed Holy Week to all.
