      Tamara, I really like the purse and sunglasses case and thank you for the patterns. But....where di you get that neat yarn holder...I'd love to buy one of those someplace, rather than plastic eyesores that you can get other places. That's pretty classy.
      Thanks,
      Granny Jo

      I love the stitch pattern , the video was very helpful. I had to watch it several times as I was busy watching the beautiful Furls crochet hook! Is that the purpleheart one? That's the next hook on my Furls wish list.

      Are the stitches using both loops or the back loop only. Thank you. Love the purse The Manchester Handbag.

        Hi Ruth! They use both loops unless other wise noted (with "blo" or "flo") 🙂

      I love your work/designs
      I did your mesmerizing bags - several times each one with different colors and combination and size, I made them for different people. This time I tried the sunglasses case. But it seems I can not make it right. The joining or beginning stich is shifting so it starts in the midst instead of the side. I really do not know how to correct it. I have unraveled and restart
      about 5 times evenn using different yarn... any advice? Thank you

        Thank you so much, Hera!
        The turn at the end of each round *should* keep the seam straight. I'd recommend using a stitch marker in the first and last stitch of each rnd - it's easy when making turned rounds to accidentally work into the slip stitch or skip the wrong stitch and that can move the seam. 🙂
