I have just a moment to update you, as I have escaped for a breather from cleaning up the aftermath of a sleepover for 7 12 year old girls - there is one bin full of sweetie wrappers already. I don't even want to think about the bathrooms ...
After I had shovelled as much pizza into them as was humanly possible last night, I hid out in a darkened corner of the house and played with my latest project, a cushion cover.
I know, I know, don't keel over with all the excitement.
I'd bought a ball of King Cole Flash DK in the colorway 150 'Waterfall', and wanted a pattern where the color changes wouldn't be lost or wasted, and a textured stitch seemed the way to go. I found an interesting pattern for a Crocodile Stitch Pillow, and this is what I have so far:
I'm really liking it; however, it EATS yarn - I am definitely going to need another ball if I want to do the back in the same yarn ... perhaps I will call it a reward for all the pizza, pancakes and cleaning up ...
oh Viv - that is ever so pretty!
ReplyDeleteOoh! I love that! :D
ReplyDeleteThat is lovely, all mermaidy and soothing. BB
ReplyDeleteIt just occurred to me that you could make an awesome (and I do mean awesome) mermaid tail with that :D
ReplyDeleteIt would ! But 290m of DK makes a 12'' x 11'' rectangle ...
DeleteThat crocodile stitch (I think I've also seen it called dragon scale) pattern is great and the yarn is perfect for it. Your cushion will be beautiful. Unfortunately, I didn't find it until I couldn't crochet any more. There are similar knit stitch patterns, but I haven't tried them.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a mermaid's scales. Just lovely.
