| My first 4 mini granny squares above the book photograph |
Several hours later when the children were in bed and the house was quiet, except for the incessant rain outside, I sat down to crochet some more. Before I knew it, the glasses case was finished and I had a real sense of achievement, albeit surrounded by a messy kitchen as I has not tidied away after dinner, best go and do that now then!
I chose a bright and fun internal fabric for the glasses case to match the jolly yarn colours.
The back view of the glasses case, I really like these colours.
The front view of the glasses case, was dictated by the colours I had with me whilst out and about today!
This image shows the internal fabric and how the colours match with the yarn.
The book that this glasses case came from is called Granny Square Crochet and is by Catherine Hirst. The book pattern is actually for a clutch bag, so I just adapted it and made it a tad smaller for the glasses case. What is fantastic for me about this project is that I used only that which I already had, including the large red button from an old coat, you never know when these items may come in handy! Now I know it is so quick, I am very tempted to make a clutch bag in black and white for a dinner date I have in London in a few weeks...
♥Would love to know what crochet projects or other craft projects are keeping you busy at present! Are you making for yourself, as I am, or for others?♥
Sorry for leading you astray. It looks fabulous. Xxx
ReplyDeleteI will forgive you! Hahaha
DeleteIt looks brilliant Selma. Making a black and white clutch bag sounds like a very good idea , I might try that.

It is super quick and easy, whilst J was swimming last night I sat and began the black and white one, will post a picture on the FB page so you can see what I completed in just under an hour. Can ping you the pattern too if you like, but easy to do as fantasy crochet too. x
DeleteAnd very lovely it looks too! The thickness of the crochet should protect your glasses well, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, it is fairly thisck and with the material lining in too, hope it will be fine, am now almost finished on a bigger black and white one, that I will turn into a clutch bag for evenings! So much fun!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful I love it! Might have do myself some thing like this, I am always knocking my glasses off my bedside table
ReplyDeleteThank you Vikki, it was quick and fun to do, I am much better at quick projects, have now also finished crocheting a larger one in black and white to be a clutch bag, just need to line it and then it is done! Glasses case is proving to be very useful and every time I take out the glasses from the colourful case, it makes me SMILE ♥ Do have a go it is so much fun ♥
DeleteHi, thanks for commenting on my blog. Thought I'd come over here and visit. Love this project, especially the liquorice allsorts fabric lining! Nicola at NicolaKnits.wordpress.com (having a lot of problems getting this comment posted!)
ReplyDeleteThank you Nicola and especially for persevering on commenting when it was so difficult. Do not know how to resolve it yet! Very frustrating. Have just finished a black and white larger version if this to use as a clutch bag. They are so easy and quick to make. Think they could make good gifts too. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment, really appreciated. X
