This project has come to a happy completion! It has been worked on here and there through many other project distractions (plus moving!). You may remember that I started it
here and was so pleased at the magic of the granny square. Granny squares (especially multi-colored ones) are time consuming but really, really fun, especially when stitched together to create something bigger. That being said, I can't imagine how much time it would take to make a granny square blanket! I learned how to
join as you go which saved me so much stitching time later on. When the front of the cover was done I
blocked it to make it nice and flat. Love it.
The back of the cover was fun to make.Just two pieces of double crochet. I
learned how to make button holes (this link is also the one I followed to make the back of my cushion).
Lookit those beautiful button holes!
I carefully sandwiched it all together (making sure the rights side were in!)...
...and stitched 'er together using yarn and a darning needle and some whip stitch power.
5 buttons were placed accordingly and sewn on using 2 ply of the cream yarn.
Sweet! Happiness was abounding by this time!
Are you ready for the big moment?
Ta-da! Love it!
What satisfaction in completing a project.
