Quite pleased


This cushion cover started out without any grand design or plan. All I wanted was to use up some of my wool left over from other projects.


Sometimes no plan is a good plan! I am in fact quite pleased how this little project turned out. I love the randomness of it.


It is not as colourful as most of my other crochet cushions, but I do love the subtle layers of creams, blues and greys.


I have used white linen for the backing, sewn envelope-style, with ties. And voilà, a new favourite has been born! (Note to self; no plan next time...)

I LOVE IT! The subtle tones of colour are really lovely, and I totally love how you have backed it....so, so pretty. It's funny isn't it how sometimes the least planned things turn out the best?!

Have a super rest of a day!

I think it's gorgeus but i'm a bit suspicious, because i think most of the things you do are amazing! LOL

Så nydelig. Elsker ton-i-ton fargene. Og den passet jo kjempefint til lappeteppet ditt. Ser for meg at du lager tilsvarende i jordfarger snart :-)

Gorgeous!! It looks like you made the pillow to go with the quilt and knit pillow. Everything looks so lovely together! I really like the way you did the ties on the back...may have to copy that idea :)

Utrolig fine blåfarger sammen med gråfargene :) Lekkert !!

Faktisk en fin ide, da jeg holder på med ett blåfarget stripet teppe, jeg strikker, og ser jeg kommer til å ha igjen garn, og da kanskje jeg lager en pute jeg også?

Ciao ;)

Så lekre puter Mia! Det var stilige farger, og de står jo helt perfekt til fargene på arbeidsrommet ditt:))
Selv om jeg elsker farger, må jeg si at det er godt å hvile blikket på rolige toner også..

Ønsker deg en fin ny uke, varm klem

Yes, I'm starting to swear by it - no plan! I do much better when I do things by accident. It's our subconscious - it knows better. ;)

I love your crocheted pillow! The colors are restful and soothing. Very lovely. :)

Nydelig, hvordan fester du sammen lappene? Synes det ser så fint ut slik som det er på denne puta, så blir glad for tips:)

Lisa sa...

If you make a note to yourself, is that a plan? ha ha :D It's very pretty.

Mia, this cushion cover is a wonderful tribute to the power of subtle color harmonies in the granny square pattern. I also applaud your use of that natural linen fabric for the backing with ties.

Isn't it fun to play around with various colorways, various yarns, and stitches, without a definite plan? Delightful surprises can follow.

Your pillow fits your home so perfectly. Very nice! I also love your big new roosters! I am working on a colorful granny circle pillow - I posted photos on my blog, you're welcome to come and see.

Tusen takk for koselig hilsen fra deg Mia!
Nydelig pute!
Og så deilig å bare hekle på og bruke sin egen kreativitet :)
Det er deilig med sterke farger, men det er nok de duse som ligger meg nærmest..! Er veldig glad i snorlukkingen du har brukt på bakstykket jeg også! Vil helst slippe den dumme glidelåsen jeg da..;)
Da ønsker jeg deg lykke til på ditt neste flotte prosjekt Mia!
klem Laila

Kjempefin pute og smart lukking. Nydelige farger, selv om jeg nesten alltid ender opp med mer farge selv :)))

Beautiful! Thanks for all the inspiration I find here on your very lovely blog.

I have read your blog for 3 years now everyday. I wanted to thank you for inspiring me to pick up my hook and needles recently. And for finding my own way of incorportating handmade items in to my home. I have knitted two pillows, and finally about to finish my first blanket in many many years. I am going to post it on my new blog. Please pop over and take a peek I would love it. P.S. I am going to use the left overs to create a pillow! Thank you again for sharing your life.

Just beautiful!
