Pattern: None. Made it up. Forgot to write down things like gauge, cast on amount etc. Oops. I got the chart for the colorwork on the front from here (tons of norwegian type color work charts and assorted free patterns)
Yarn: Recycled, dyed in my kitchen, from stash... 100% wool is about the only thing I know about it.
I woke up one morning with the idea of making a cushion that looks like a sweater. I wish I took more notes on it. As I knit it, I kept alternating between thinking it was a good idea and thinking it was a stupid idea. I think, all in all, it was a good idea and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
i love it.. you've done a great job..
ReplyDeleteThat is a very cool idea and you executed it well. Make me want to snuggle up with it as thought it were a sweater which makes it an even better idea...sweater snuggling with out the sleeves to knit!
ReplyDeleteGreat job
I think a cushion that looks like a sweater is a great idea! It's really cute. I love your cardigan, too. The lace is a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteJulie is so lucky to have you as a friend! What an awesome B-day prezzie. We should all be so lucky as to have a friend like you. :)
ReplyDeleteI think the cushion looks great and nothing is better than your own dyed wool. Your friend is so lucky.
