I am totally loving join as you go granny squares and I'm very pleased with my first granny square cushion. The colour choices are very random, most of the yarn was over from the blanket and bunting I made for Pam's birthday present. Stylecraft DK seems to go on for ever and is lovely to work with. Next I'm going to make a blanket but I am going to crochet solid colour squares rather than changing my yarn after every round. I think I will plan my colour choices better as well.
I have also experimented with a lovely flower mandela that I saw on Linda's lovely blog and the pattern has been kindly translated into English here -

Lovely cushion and love the flower - might have to make some of these. I'm hoping to finish a shawl this evening! :)
ReplyDeleteOh that mandala is pretty, and I seriously LOVE the cushion ... such gorgeous colours :)
ReplyDeleteDid you block your cushion before joining the outer edges?
ReplyDeleteVery nice Sue.
I was very lazy and didn't block at all - I was so excited about finishing my cushion I just folded it in half and joined seams together with double crochet then I stuffed the cushion pad in and closed the opening with more double crochet. More by luck than judgement it all seemed to stay in shape x
DeleteThank you for popping by and leaving a message, always nice to hear from other bloggers.
ReplyDeleteI love the colour combo you have chosen for your cushion, it's really lovely and as for the flower, it's gorgeous, pinned to a dark winter coat it will look great.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteJust popping by to check if you are joining in the Autumn Glow swap? I wasn't too sure if you had joined up or not, so if you'd like to take part, can you please tell me if you'd like to post to UK only or if you don't mind International postage??
Thanks!
BH x
yes please and I would prefer to post in the UK.
DeleteAbsolutely lovely and I like your random colour choices they go really well together as though completely planned.
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog.
The cushion has come out lovely and I just loved the flower mandala. Thanks for the link. I made a few. The first one my daughter wanted for her bag, the second my other daughter wanted. I stitched it on her pillow. The third went as a stick-on, on my daughter's b'day gift to her friend. I am making a few more now. Its addictive. Thanks for sharing happiness!! You've brought so many smiles by just sharing a link!!
