Crochet Paracord Cup

I accidentally made this the other day.  I know, how do you accidentally do something that takes you a while to complete?  Well, I was trying to make a pouch that I could attach to my bike so that I can have my keys and phone with me when I cycle.  (The pants that I wear to cycle rarely seem to have pockets.)  I have started one several time and saw some leftover paracord in with my yarn.  I thought it might work.  It didn't.  But I kept going with it and it made a lovely, sturdy cup.  Right now, it is collecting the random things I find in the family laundry!

Oh, I used about a N-hook and just did a basic circle on the bottom.  Then I went into the back loop only, then sc all the way up until I didn't have enough string to do another round.

Tunisian Crochet Cables

Early attempt at Tunisian Crochet Cables

I just learned that it's possible to do cables in Tunisian crochet!  It's pretty easy.  You just need yarn, a tunisian hook and some kind of stitch holders.  I have some from when I attempted to do knit cables. but just another hook or a safety pin should work as well.  I used this pattern to help.
