After yesterday's excitement, I am enjoying the meditative rhythm of crocheting granny squares in my creative space this week.
I am crocheting a cushion cover for a very special birthday girl.
I am hoping to use this thrifted yarn to hook them all together and make a bit of a border. But I'm not mad on the colour.
So I am winding the balls onto this chair,
tying them into hanks,
and then I'll dye them dark charcoal or black.I hope things are creative in your space this week.
Check out more spaces at Kirsty's.
What a great idea to dye the wool! The cushion cover will look fabulous with those colours.

Good luck with the dying, it certainly worked well on that adorable beanie from yesterday. That’s going to be one very special cushion cover, made with so much love!

I think I see a Niddy Noddy in your future, much easier than the chair :)

ReplyDeleteI am peeking through my hands, because they are bee-autiful squares and you're making me want to crochet flowers but there are a kazillion unattached and un-end-weaved-in grannies floating about this place. Aaaargh!
