What do you do with a little bit of specialty yarn?

One of the bazaar finds was a pretty black yarn with a shiny thread woven around it. Less than a skein. What to do???

The little skein to the left. Size 10 knitting needles.

Make a long strip of knitted stitches. Decreases on one end with a loop for a button.

,

Fold over and sew up the edges to make a little bag.

Add a button and you have it. Tissue placed under the edge to show better detail.

Three hours and forty cents. 

Not bad!
