Tossing your eyeglasses into your bag without protection is never a good idea. Wendy Bernard's eyeglass case is a great project for beginner knitters ready to try a new stitch pattern, and for anyone who needs a quick gift idea. Wendy's pattern even includes three different size options, so you can create a case for slim reading glasses, standard eyeglasses, or oversized sunglasses. Using lovely hand painted yarn, Wendy shows how to knit Linen Stitch in the round for the body of the case then work the flap of the case flat. Finally, learn how to make a buttonhole and add a button.

It looks easy, but if it’s your first time knitting Linen stitch, as is my case, the instructions are not clear enough. The first row is very well explained, but the second row is assumed… I didn’t know how to handle the yarn slipped in front: is it knitted together with the slipped stitch? I am starting all over again for the 3rd time ??I am sorry to be critical but a bit more explanation would have made this class a wonderful one. Thank you for the inspiration,

I love the woven look of these stitches! Wendy is a very good teacher and explains the steps clearly. I enjoyed this class and will watch it again while using my handspun multicolor yarn to follow along.
