Chair Arm Remote Caddy

Hey, y'all!

As part of the redecorating process in our living room, I decided our old over-the-arm remote caddy simply had to be replaced.  I already had the yarn from the Lancaster Quilt throw I made, and I borrowed a striped granny stitch pattern from Bobbi Anderson's Simone Scarf & Blanket pattern in the May/June 2013 issue of Crochet Today! as a basis for this:

I worked the pattern until it was wide enough for my 5 remotes, fastened off and created the five separate pockets by slip stitching through both layers in matching yarn.  It definitely goes much better with the new color scheme than the old blue-and-red one did.


'Til next time,

Couch Arm Remote Holder

If your house is anything like mine, your coffee table is covered in remote controls. I've seen mass-produced canvas pouches for storing them over a couch arm, and I thought I'd give it a whirl.

There are a couple of major bonuses to this particular project:

First, I got to use up some of my leftover bits of yarn from previous projects.

Unfortunately, the color just doesn't want to come across properly here.  For the blues, think jeans.  And the red is more barn than fire engine in real life.

And second, perhaps by separating the remotes into their individual pouches, they'll finally stop multiplying. :)
