I wanted to make a granny square cushion cover like the blanket in Nanny McPhee. I was saving up odd balls of wool but I couldn't find a crochet hook. I was dying to start making it so I knitted this fair-isle one instead. It was such fun to do because it was random, no rules. It's nice and cuddly and comfy and it's given me a great idea. You'll probably think I'm mad if I tell you .
This Natural Gas advert that I first saw over at Meet me at Mikes ages ago might give you a clue.....
Love your fairisle cushion. Such a neat idea. I am going to do your meme (sounds a funny word to me..maori for doing wees!) still getting to it!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you Joan. I'm so glad you are joining...look forward to your post......sorry about the word meme.....I've no idea where the word originated.....but funny too.....
ReplyDeleteOh and no rush.......
I've never been game to try fairisle but your cushion looks wonderful and it's always a bonus when things knit up nice and cuddly (which unfortunately is not always the case! What on earth is your mad idea I wonder?
ReplyDeleteLike Joan I will definately join in your meme but need to find some time to do a good job of it - thanks for inviting me.
Oh thanks Caz. I really enjoyed making it.....I'm on a 'cushion cover knitting' roll at the moment......which has sparked off the idea for my bigger project....
