The eyeglass case is coming along quite nicely. Its almost done, just another few inches, then the flap. It is going to be a double case, meaning it is for 2 pairs of glasses. It is for a loved one who requested it some months ago, but I'm just getting to it now. She has a double case now, & said she can't find one in the stores anymore. It is really just a long tube, folded in half making 2 long pockets, then attached together at the top. The glasses sit back to back in the case. It sounds rather weird trying to explain it, but think of a sock, without the toe. Fold it in half lengthwise & there you are. I'm making pointed closure flaps, so I'm working from flap to flap. I should be finished tonight.
But, I'm not going to felt it yet. I'm also making a hat from the purple hues yarn. Once I finish that, I'll felt them both at the same time. I may even make another hat from the remaining yarn from the eyeglass case. It depends on time, of course. I would like to have the case done by Christmas, but the hats are mine, so who cares when they get done! As for what's next...I haven't thought that far ahead yet. I may try to finish some WIPs (works in progress) that I have laying around! They sometimes haunt me to finish them, so it might be a good idea!!

Love your blog too! I know what you mean about sparing our families about all of our knitting talk. My family thinks I'm a little obsessed too. Thanks for giving me the link to your blog. I'll visit you often too. I love the eyeglass case idea.
