So I knat-up a replacement.
It's leftover blue wool from the skein Veronique sent me last year (which I used in a hot-water-bottle-cover for my mother). I made it in a similar style to the PDA case I did a while back. Turkish cast-on, in this case about 80sts, and worked in st st round until about twice the desired length. Then folded back in half (so worked row is level to cast on one) and kitchenered shut. This gives a nice double-thick piece with neat lip to the purse. Then put it in the wash for a hot, fast spin with a pair of jeans and a towel or three. Sew on zip, work a bit of random embroidery. Ta-da!
I kept with Veronique's mix of this blue with a dark chocolate brown for the zip and decoration. None of this especially goes with my red glasses, but we'll ignore that.
All so much nicer than the black logoed plastic things they give you at the opticians. I don't know why it took me so long to make one.

Oh LOVELY! I've been meaning to find myself a nice glasses case for years, why on earth didn't I think of making one? Thanks for the directions! I particularly like that mix of blue and brown. Nice glasses, too :) x

That is the cutest glasses case! Now that I need glasses I will need to knit one up, nice work!
Love it!
I love it! And the embroidery really makes it.
the only thing that I can say about this, is look so cute but I don't think that bring too much protection to the glasses.
Beautiful case, I love it, I guess you should work in someway to protect the glasses if it hit's with something.
This can't have effect in actual fact, that is exactly what I consider.
Really effective material, thanks so much for the post.
