From Scraps to Sensational

This fall Crochet! magazine published a special issue :

 

This magazine is filled with great projects that use a small amount of yarn from your stash.  Since Christmas will be here before you know it, many of these projects will also make great quick gifts.

These cozies can keep your purse organized and help you find your key, chapstick, hand sanitizer and cell phone.

This necklace incorporates silver sequins and various shades of blue crochet thread.  I enjoyed creating this design - I think it would look pretty in other colors, too.
