Second try coming along...
Blogged about (here)
Back |
I found it helps to use my markers to "mark" every five stitches for the flowers.
Front - Two more rounds done correctly |
Marking the rounds helped but I also found out why my first one went wrong on the dark burgundy round. When I printed out the pattern our printer was running very low on color ink. I didn't realize that some of the text was in red ink rather than black. The red text didn't come through at all so I missed those stitches completely. That's corrected...now I'm cooking with gas.
Back - with markers |
I'm pleased so far.
As this cushion grows I will probably run out of markers but hopefully by then I won't need them as much.
I'm using left over yarn. |
Now to choose my next colors!

Oh, I love your crocheted pillow cover. I happen to have made one of those, in fact I have made several. They are so fun to make. Love the colors you are using. Can't wait to see the finished project. Thanks for sharing. Karie

Lookin' good! I loved your "Blooming Bloody Flower Cushion" comment on your first post about it. Hee-hee. I missed that the first time.
ReplyDeleteIt's looking good and I am pleased you have sorted out the problem.
ReplyDeleteIt is looking really nice.
ReplyDeleteI bought mine its feather inner today, not sure if it is a bit big (looks rather a fat cushion!) I think it needs a bit of pounding to settle it down.
