MWM|| CROCHET PENCIL CASE FOR MY FRIEND

Bendecido día amigos y compañeros de esta creativa comunidad. Una vez más nos volvemos a encontrar con mucha alegría para compartir nuestras experiencias y nuestras creaciones. En la publicación de hoy les quiero mostrar el proyecto en el que estuve trabajando el fin de semana. Se trata de una pequeña cartuchera tejida a crochet que elaboré para obsequiar a una buena amiga y excompañera de trabajo.

En mis años como docente de una institución pública logré hacer muy buenas amistades; amistades que aún conservo y ahora que estoy de vuelta en Venezuela he podido frecuentar y compartir agradables momentos en su compañía. En este mes de agosto es el cumpleaños de dos de mis buenas amigas, es por ello que me he puesto manos al tejido y estoy elaborando sus obsequios. El primero de ellos es una pequeña cartuchera para que mi amiga pueda llevar sus lápices y demás implementos a su trabajo.

Este proyecto lo elaboré con este material que me encanta, se trata del macramé colombiano. Elegí esta combinación de colores porque sé que a mi amiga le gustan mucho los tonos tierra.

In my years as a teacher in a public institution I managed to make very good friendships; friendships that I still keep and now that I am back in Venezuela I have been able to frequent and share pleasant moments in their company. This August is the birthday of two of my good friends, that is why I have put my hands to the fabric and I am making their gifts. The first one is a small pencil case for my friend to carry her pencils and other implements to her work. I made this project with this material that I love, Colombian macramé. I chose this color combination because I know my friend loves earth tones.

The pencil case measures about 17 cm and is knitted in a single crochet stitch. It is a very simple stitch that consists of knitting a single crochet, a separating chain and a single crochet. Then, in the next round, a single crochet is knitted in the separating chain of the previous round and where there are single crochets, separating chains are knitted. This sequence creates a very nice effect and relief and makes the knitting very flowing and easy to knit.

Each stripe is made up of 5 rows of low stitches and everything is knitted in a spiral, which makes the color change practically unnoticeable. As a detail I added a small handle where it can be carried. I also added a fabric lining and a plastic zipper. I was able to do all this in one afternoon, since it is a fairly simple project, but the result is very nice and very useful.

While weaving this project I had time to reflect on the importance of maintaining good friendships. It gives me great joy to know that even though we are no longer coworkers, we still maintain a beautiful and respectful friendship. As always, it has been a pleasure to share with you one more of my crochet projects.

Thank you for reading, greetings and blessings.
