Crazy for Cushions

Now that our kitchen project is almost complete and things are making their way back into place, I'm so happy to get back to some desperately needed hooking time!  I was having serious withdrawal issues over the last month...

Off to my hook and needles to complete some pillows that languished in my WIP pile. 

Classic granny with several rows of single crochet edging.



I made 2 of these, one large and one small.  Forgot to photograph the backs of the cushions which are simply one big granny square done in the cream yarn.
And this knitted cable stitch cushion that was a complete joy to make.

The backing done in stockinette with a garter stitch edge.

Envelope back for easy removal.  I like the idea of changing out cushion covers as the mood strikes.

Trio of cushions.  Apologies...not your vision, just a poor photo on my part!

And so they'll rest here on the loveseat for a while...
Wish I could join the cushions for a rest myself, but a busy day lies ahead.  I'm off to help with a charity auction.

I hope you have a weekend filled with good things :-)

    They're all gorgeous. I like the single crochet edging round the granny one, it gives it a lovely effect.
