On these chilly winter nights, in spare moments and at various footy ovals around the district I have been happily hooking away at my first crochet cushion.
I am happy to say that last night I tucked a cushion inside her.
And crochetted her up so she is all neat and tidy.
Now I just have to decide where she will live.
At the moment, I keep carting her around with me.
If you are into crochet then you might like to know, the pattern for the front is from Attic24, Summer Garden flower squares. The hook is 3.5m and the wool is scraps of 8 ply wool.

Yep, I'm impressed. I'd be carting her around too! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Anita, I am loving her sick!
DeleteFantastic! She looks amazing. I'm very impressed indeed.
ReplyDeleteThank you Edwina.
DeleteLove it.
ReplyDeleteKylie
I'm very impressed! Lookin good :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic Deb. You are very clever. I never finish anything I start crocheting and I have a drawer full of unfinished projects. You are inspiring me to open it and do some! I like the cushion colours too. Mx
ReplyDeleteOh for every finished project there are another 10 lurking in the cupboard.
DeleteI must confess, I'm usually not a fan of crochet... but this looks great! Well done :)
ReplyDeleteThis might sound odd but I love to crochet, I don't always like the look of it. That is why I chose the bright colours.
DeleteYou must be one patient lady!! There's no way I could do that!
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful Deb and can't wait to see how your chairs look!
Yes you could, anyone who has the patience to renovate furniture must have. Painting the chairs is taking forever, especially in this wet weather.
DeleteOnce upon a time I used to crochet a lot but got side tracked after the kids were born. Just love this cushion Deb, you are incredibly clever.

Thanks Annie, I just find the repetitiveness restful.
DeleteIt is just lovely, I taught my self to crochet once but never made more than one granny square, will have to have another go one day
ReplyDeleteMekaela
Mekaela you should have another go. It is something that is easy to pick up and put down again.
DeleteThis is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving grey at the moment, with shots of colour!X
Thank you, me too.
DeleteWOW! I love the colours and the little squares! Good job. So inspired now to do the same!
ReplyDeleteI hope you do, let me know If you do, I would love to see it.
DeleteThey are lovely! Love the colours :)
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWell doen Deb, it looks great.
ReplyDeleteLove the bright colours against the grey background.

I love the colours of your cushion. Granny squares are just so much fun to make. What stitch did you use to join your two parts together? I made my first crochet cushion this week to, it must have something to do with this cold winter we are having!
ReplyDeleteOh, it's sooo pretty! I cant decide which side I like most!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I like your blanket on your blog header. I just got lost in your blog for the last half hour. I giggled at the 50 shades link. Deb
ReplyDeleteI really like these, particularly the one with the smaller squares. I really like the greys combined with the bright colours, well done!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a modern take on the old fashioned (sometimes ugly!) crochet square. Very very cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you, that is exactly what I was hoping to achieve.
ReplyDeleteThe cushion with the small squares is beautiful! Love the colors. Great job!
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful, Deb! Love the bright colors against the gray squares. Thank you for sharing with my party! xo Jami
