I can think of plenty of other ideas for this than holding clothes pins.  How about a diaper holder, lingerie holder, or plastic bag ‘dispenser’?

Here’s another great idea.  You can use this idea to crochet a variety of things:

And, finally (for now), here’s my favorite upcycled design using crochet – Pop Top Lady’s Crochet Pull Tab Flowers:
