¡Hola, espero la estén pasando muy bien!
Hi, I hope you are having a great time!
Hace años no tejía algo para mí. La semana pasada perdí un lapicero azul el cual lo utilizo para realizar cualquier apunte. Cada vez que escribía con otro lapicero me preguntaba ¿dónde podía estar aquel lapicero azul?... y me di cuenta que me faltaba una cartuchera donde colocar los lapiceros. Porque tengo otras cartucheras donde coloco los crochet, agujas, tijeras y otra donde coloco los alicates y alambres (jaja).
I haven't knitted something for myself for years. Last week I lost a blue pen which I use to make notes. Every time I wrote with another pen I wondered where that blue pen could be?... and I realised that I was missing a pencil case where I put my pens. Because I have other pencil cases where I put my crochet, needles, scissors and another one where I put my pliers and wire (haha).
A pencil case is an object of daily use, that's why I chose to knit it with a light and quick-drying yarn like bamboo. The crochet used was 3mm thick because the yarn is 6 strands. This pencil case consists of 3 blocks (front, middle and back). For blocks I and III (front and back), I knit 44 chains, and then in the corners I made increases in low stitches until I had the desired size.
Then to form the width, I knitted only the back strand of each stitch in a single crochet. In the next round I changed the colour and picked up both strands.
For block II (intermediate) I knitted decreases, for this I used the total stitches of the edge of block I and in each corner I made decreases. I used these colours to make it look like the frog's mouth. For block III, I used the "tapestry" technique, this was to make it more visible and avoid losing it.
I knitted the eyes to make it look like a frog. It has two compartments, one for art materials and the other for pens. This time I put buttons on it, next time it will have a zip.
¡Y eso es todo!
¡…Hasta la próxima!
See you next time!
Dato curioso: Esta fue la manera sencilla de tejer una cartuchera tipo 2 dimensiones. Estaba entre tejer una palta o este sapo / This was the simple way to knit a 2 dimensional pencil case. I was between knitting an avocado or this toad.
