This will hopefully be a pen pouch for a friend of mine :) This is my first try at warp float patterns. It's going pretty well. I think I should be beating a little harder, the rows look at little longish, but its okay. I don't want to change it now because I don't want it to look different on one part than another. But yeah.
I like doing the pattern. I don't worry about my selvedges as much and I think they come out better :)
My warp is lopsided because my warping pegs slanted. So its a little wonky.
Oh, and also, I ran out of fuchsia yarn so one side has 3 purple warps in the end stripe, and the other has 4. :)
I can barely see the pattern :( I think its because...
I READ THE PATTERN WRONG. lol.
But. Its okay. Good learning experience. And the girl who I'm giving it to isn't going to say, "You know, your warp floats are really crappy."
Lessons learned:
Beat harder. Could do with less tension on the loom. Pens work great! (thanks JoAnna!) for keeping my end warps under correct tension. MAKE SURE your warping pegs aren't shifting when you're warping on them! READ THE PATTERN THE RIGHT WAY.
Finishing
To finish the pencil pouch, I secured the free-flowing end with a hem stitch, which I think was actually the blanket/button-hole stitch even though I was trying to do the hem stitch :)
So, I trimmed that down to about 1/4 of an inch of fringe, and turned it under and secured it with a back stitch. 
Then I sewed the sides with the triple cross knit looping that Laverne Waddington taught us via tutorial. I actually got WORSE at doing the looping, I think because I changed directions from the original tutorial. (I worked... left to right instead of right to left, I think...) But its okay. Parts of it are more decent than others.
Then, I sewed on two buttons (two of them just for decoration) and created a twisted length of yarn to wrap around the buttons to secure the flap closed.
