CrochetZipperPouch

This project started as leftover sock yarn and hating leftover bits lying around ...  What do you do with itsy bitsy pieces ???

I started with about 30 chain stitches and then carried on with rows of single crochet stitches. When I got to the end I decided that it would be nice to have a little handle so two stitches and about 10 rows did the trick.


fold your whole piece in half and sew one side and bottom closed


I sewed the zip into place by hand.


and there you have it a zippered pouch with a tag.

ScatterBlanky

What do you do with all your wool bits at the end of projects?? Well I have an ongoing project (actually one in each colour scheme).  I'm not much of a crochet 'er but can do the basics.  Every time I have a left over bit I see which blankly it would suit best and add to that one.  It is basically a Granny Square that doesn't stop.



About.com has some great Crochet tutorials and this Crochet_Granny_Square one is basically what I've been doing except I just carry on and on until the blankly is the perfect size for cuddling while reading a good book or watching a great movie.

Have a Crafty week.
