Hooking on Hump day
Christine an Editor for Stitch and Unwind and AllFreeCrochet Saw this clutch and came up with a fun name for the listing on the afc site! Seaside Shell Clutch  This had me thinking so I took out some Red Heart super savor scarps and a red heart with love and made this sample up
What a cute bag you could make by just changing every 2 rows! Also if you use left overs from your stash the bag would be very cheap to make!!!

Thread Cross Bookmark

I used Aunt Lydia's Crochet thread and a size D hook. Make a magic circle Round 1 Ch3, 2dc, ch2, 3dc, ch2, 3dc, ch2, 3dc, ch2 and join. Sides and top of cross Ch3 2dc, ch2, dc3 in any ch2 sp. Turn and *sl to ch2, ch3,2dc, ch2,3dc. *Turn and repeat * repeat everything in this step 3 more times. Cut thread and weave in ends at the ends of the sides. Bottom of the cross When you get to the last side repeat the * section 2 more times for a total of 4 shells for the bottom and 2 shells for the sides not including the center. On the top of the cross attach yarn and chain 26, skip the first 5 and sl to the first chain. Then I added a tassel. If thread isn't your thing check out this great bookmark Stitch 11 made from my Cross Bangle pattern! Check out the Stitch 11 post here
