Anyways... here is my fantabulous cushion :-D
Subtle huh? Wait 'til you see what it looks like when I use flash!
Gargh my eyes!
Oh and here's the back:
Hehe, I'm finding myself looking at my old beige cushions and planning ways to re-cover and jazz them up a little :-p
I meant to post some photos of my MKAL BooKnits shawl yesterday but let's just say there was an incident with a missing yarn over that resulted in a bit of a paddy and some frogging! Caught up again now although got a few more rounds to go until I'll be ready for the next section. Clue 2 is due out next week though so got a bit of time to work on it.
The yarn is mulbery silk so has a gorgeous sheen to it. Impossible to photograph though! It's somewhere between the two pictures in colour:
I'm using some purple beads with a rainbow sheen to them. Again, impossible to photograph! For what it's worth the yarn is this one and the beads are these. *swoon*
Hope you guys have a good weekend. I'm hoping for a bit of sunshine so we can go out for a walk or two and blow away some winter cobwebs :-)
Linking up with Tami's Amis, thanks for dropping by :-)
That cushion is wonderful. Have a lovely weekend x
ReplyDeletethank you :) You too x
DeleteThat yarn is fabulous. You are going to have so much fun knitting with it. The cushion is amazing. That will certainly cheer you up on a dreary day.
ReplyDeleteThe yarn is lovely but rather splitty. Took me a little while to get used to it but think I'm ok now. I specifically made the cushion because of the rubbish weather we've been having, it makes me smile every time I see it :-)
DeleteThe cusion is beautiful. I can imagine the red of your silky yarn. Have a nice weekend, too. Regula
ReplyDeleteThank you :-)
DeleteI love the cushion. Bright colors are the best. They make everything seem so much more cheerful.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I think too :-) Thank you
DeleteLovely! I've never got round to finishing my blooming flower cushion.
ReplyDeleteaw you should, and make sure you have a squooshy cushion to go inside it :-)
DeleteThat cushion is just the cutest thing! Too bad crochet kills my hands.
ReplyDeleteThank you :-) I found crochet made my hands ache initially but as my muscles got used to it it wasn't so bad. The main problem I have is hurting the nerve in my elbow which I seem to be vulnerable too if I crochet too long :-(
DeleteThe cushion cover is spectacular! I have been considering trying similar re-fashioning of cushions for my house, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. It's high on my list. I'll keep an eye out for more inspiration. :-D
ReplyDeleteHomemade/handmade cushion covers are the best :-) My problem is finding just the right pattern and yarn, I'm too indecisive!
ReplyDeleteAwesome cushion, love the colors, it looks so cherful.
ReplyDeleteLove the cushion! :-)
ReplyDeleteThese cushions I love too. I planned to do (sometimes ...) but at the moment there isn't enough time. Your cushion is funny, so full of spring or summer - great. Makes me smile too. My last cushion cover is fair to winter ... Happy sunday! Greetings from Germany.
ReplyDeleteThe cushion is fantastic. It only invokes a smile and joy. Great project in the works.
