more fancy phones

A few weeks ago I showed off my latest smart phone cover up:


I was so pleased with the result of combining crochet and tatting that I set out on making another. Here are the pics!

I used Lizbeth 10 for the crocheting and a matching Lizbeth 40 for the tatting.
Again I made the pouch itself as a wristlet that opens easily to get at your phone.
Here's a detail shot of the single crochet and tatting. This time I used clusters of three seed beads (size 11) on the picot of the chain.
Since I had some leftover thread, I tatted this lock stitch chain bracelet/necklace. The beginning and ending rings just slip over one another to hold it secure.I've never had a problem with one of them coming undone (you'd really have to get it a pretty hard tug).
Next up! I have a new idea for another phone pouch, but this time I'll be using different tatted ornamentation. Pics to follow!
