| i always throw my
sunglasses in my purse or on the table, scratching up the lenses.
since i just purchased a new pair of cool purple ones, i saw some
matching yarn in my stash and figured i'd make something to protect
them...
the rolling of the fabric hugs the
sunglasses inside the knitted piece. easy to knit! in an
hour or two you'll be done!
