Pencil Case #01

I like knitting and very enjoy trying some types of stitches. In this project, I tried to make a simple pencil case to my mom. I learnt about how to make a basket weave which is another interesting type of stitches. It’s easy version of the combination of knit and purl. To make a basket weave, we need to start from even number of stitches. In my case, it is multiple of four. I got this idea by looking at a Lindcraft’s knitting magazine. The magazine (Teach yourself how to knit) is very useful for beginner like me. There are many information and some instructions are easy to follow (Lindcraft must say thank you for me for promoting their magazine =D *just kidding*). Okay, if you are interested, here is the pattern:

23 cm x 10 cm

MATERIALS

5 mm needles

two colour of yarns which we call as yarn A & B

Mobile Phone Case #01

Simple Mobile Phone Case #01

Knitting is something new for me. I have been learning knitting for two months. I got interested in knitting when I saw my friend’s handmade scarf. I intended to learn knitting three years ago but I could make it come true just in the last two months.

Being in Oz was very enjoyable when I need to go to the craft shop because it very closes to my apartment. In my country, I must order the knitting yarns and other knitting stuff in a big city of Indonesia because in my hometown it rather difficult to find a craft shop which sell knitting materials.

I chose a simple cell phone case as my first knitting project. I got the pattern from one of Indonesian knitting book. It’s quite easy actually, but because I am a beginner in knitting, so I experience difficulties. However, from those difficulties, I learnt how to knit well. Here is the pattern which I got from the book with little bit modification.

SIZE

10 cm x 12 cm

MATERIALS

5 mm needles

Small amount of any type of yarns (2 colours) which we call yarn A & B

Crochet hook

Large eye sewing needle

A bead

ABBREVIATIONS

          2^nd row    : k

Repeat this way for the next two rows, then BO

Continue to make some chains with crochet hook and make a loop in the centre of BO side to put the bead.

Fold case in half and ignore the decrease rows and then sew the two sides using yarn B

Make a handle with yarn B, CO 3 sts and knit it for 20 more times (or intended length), joint the two points and attach it to one side of case.

Make a flower for beautify.
