for my desk
I've had a very ugly pencil/pen holder on my desk for quite a while and I've been wanting to replace it. I've seen some very pretty ones on Creative Carmelina that she crochets and slips over an empty can. I decided I would see if I could figure something similar out and this is what I ended up with

Excellent job Ann! I just love it! Superb!!
Woof! Woof! I think its pretty. Lots of Golden ALOHA n Woofs, Sugar
Very nice! xx
Great job on the crochet cover, Ann! So pretty!
It looks great! I like to take old cans and cover them with either fabric or paper. I can change them out with a different look when I get tired of it. You can't beat the price--out of the recycling bin at home!
What a fun idea, I have never seen anything like this
I LIKE this!!!!! Very much. Now, I think I must try the same. I have a wire meshy looking pencil holder, and this one you've made looks soooooo much better.
Ps....love Duke I do. Of course you know that already...and his 'yoga' post below this one is precious. And he leaves no PAWS for our delighting in his charm.
bet you could sell these, even just the cover without the can in it. the cover could fit on all kinds of things. you are sooooo talented. and guess what? i have two of those twisty lamps. and wish i did not. when we bought them i did not even think about how hard it is to dust them. yours is much cleaner than ours.
Oooh, that is very cute. I can never find a pencil holder that is nice to look at.
Cute idea Ann!!

Me likes! Me likes very much!
I used to use a mug, but now I have this black mesh pencil holder. Not much to look at but I think I should have held on to the old mug.
Very cute! Maybe you could even paint the can a cute color!
love it!
Very nice indeed. I'm so not crafty that I would have just bought one. Sigh.
Have a terrific day. My best to Duke. :)
You are so clever! It looks great!
So nice! The pattern reminds me of covers for wood coathangers that my grandmother once taught me how to make. (But I don't think I remember how now!)
What a neat, simple idea!
You MADE this? You could sell these!
That's a great idea! And it looks so pretty too. I'll have to share this with my daughter. She loves to crochet. But I'm sure hers will be purple.
Cute idea!
That does look great. What a great idea. Very clever stuff. Hope you have a great evening.
I like it! You bet me to it. I saved a lot of small potato chip cans and I was thinking of alter them using crochet stitches. Seeing how lovely your turn out I better get to it.
I love it, Ann! I want to make one :)
Hey I really like that Ann. sandie
Great idea Ann! Too bad I don't crochet. :( But I do like to cover cans with pretty paper.
I'm glad you're enjoying the vase!
What a good idea! However, I have a large collection of special mugs with broken handles that have become pencil holders.
nicely done
happy to have inspired, and thank you for the credit
ciao bella
