My Dive Into Fiber Arts Continues With My First Real Sewing Project. A Pencil Case As A Much Needed Storage

Some of my earlier handspun yarn (merino left and corriedale right). Done on a diy drop spindle.

Some of my earlier crochets that I was quite proud of at the time. I got my start in crochet making individual granny squares off youtube tutorials to familiarize myself with the various stitches/techniques.

Not sure exactly which tutorials I used for these but if you look up "sunburst granny square" and "willow square" on youtube you'll find plenty of videos.

Gone fishing~

Some owls~ Pattern is my own.

Some plain ordinary common merino I spun. Despite being the VanillaTM fiber I found it a joy to work with.

50/50 blend of dog fur and merino I spun for a friend of a friend. The blend was much easier to spin than pure dog fur (very short and slippery), though still a decent challenge. Never have I ever had a yarn so adamant about being spun short backward draw.

Some hearts I did for knitting practice a while ago. I am primarily a crocheter but I want to get better at knitting too because I like the fabric it creates.

Tutorials I used: Heart Heart square

Some more jellyfish. Little ones this time. Pattern is my own.

Some lovely alpaca wool which was an absolute dream to spin. Grey is 100% alpaca and multicoloured is 50/50 alpaca and merino, and also my first attempt at blending wool :3

Some silly little guys I made as Christmas gifts.

I used this pattern as a base, but added my own modifications.
