Green-Green Pool Wallet

When we go to the pool in the afternoons, I don't like to take my wallet with me - just my driver's license and our seasonal pool passes, which amounts to four cards total. I've been paper-clipping them together and tossing them in my pool tote, but I can see losing them pretty quickly in that ginormous bag. So, here's my new Pool Wallet:

I used single-ply spiral-cut plarn made from a medium-sized Barnes & Noble bag for the body, and trimmed it in double-ply brown grocery store bag plarn. (I will be posting two different plarn-making tutorials in the days to come to answer some of the questions I've received.)
