Hello all !! Hope you had a nice weekend. A warm welcome to my both new and old friends :) I have tried reaching all the new friends but somehow I could not reach few of you through your profiles . If you think I haven’t visited you back , then leave a comment mentioning your blog name . I will be happy to visit you back.
I made this pencil pouch couple of months back but just could not put the pieces together for some or the other reasons . It was a bit frustrating but finally completed . Anshita is very happy but I feel I could have done better.
I made it with Anchor knitting cotton and hook size 2 .75 mm . Both the parts , front and back , were made separately . I lined it with a soft cotton fabric but it gets wrinkled from inside .
Design is just simple with rows of HDCs in three colors . I used eyelash yarn to give that Diva effect for a teenager pouch. One row is of puff stitch and stitch pattern for one of the rows (dotted lines) is from here. This stitch calls for 2 different sizes of thread but I was already using thinner yarn so I used both same size yarn. Back side is just simple as well. For lining and adding zipper, I referred a tutorial from here.
I guess the overall pouch looks good for a teenager, Anshita is not a teenager yet but still enjoys flashy items :) She doesn’t like pink but having base color as purple, she okayed it . I will try for perfection next time .
What do you say?
Have a crafty week!

Back side
Now the frustrating part . I crocheted a bit loose with eyelash yarn therefore the front part expanded a bit compared to the back. I broke the needle of my sewing machine while adding a zip :( I concluded that I have more control on my hand than sewing machine .
