Cardholders

It all started with a simple Crochet-Along. A harmless little activity that brings fellow crochet fanatics together.  Rachel Choi, who runs a great website called The Crochet Spot put this together and offered up a free pattern for a cardholder.  If you're like me, your wallet is bursting at the seams with loyalty cards and gift cards.  This handy little cardholder pattern is just the ticket for organizing that pile of cards.  It also provides a unique way to package gift cards for gift giving, and it's the perfect project for using up scrap yarn.

Sunglasses Case

I needed something to keep my sunglasses in so they wouldn't get scratched up. I wear the big "Jackie O" style shades and most store-bought cases are too snug, so I whipped this one up using Lion Brand Homespun yarn in Granite.  The stars were made with some scrap yarn I had in a soft mauve-pink. Pattern: Size H crochet hook Ch 30 Round 1: Sc in second ch from hook, then each remaining ch.  Ch 2 and turn. Round 2: Hdc in each sc across.  Ch 1 and turn. Round 3-17: Continue alternating rows of sc and Hdc. Add a row of edging or leave squared off (I added a row of scalloped edging) Fold in half and join both sides together using sc stitches along the seam and bottom edge. Fasten off. Turn inside out to hide the seams Embellish with your favorite appliqué. I used this star pattern .

I used Bernat Baby Coordinates yarn in white, soft blue, iced mint, a darker blue, funny prints (white, light green, light blue), and splash stripes (a darker green mixed with the darker blue). I also used a size H hook. The goal was to make 388 "snowflakes" in a variety of colors. I admit it...I didn't read the directions well and ended up having to modify the pattern (something I lovingly refer to as "research and development," which usually involves a lot of pulling out stitches and starting over, with some curse words tossed in). It was after I completed my huge pile of snowflakes and laid them out into my desired pattern when I realized I was supposed to be joining them as I went along. Oh crud...now what? I end
