Stash-busting #14 - Crochet cushion.


På tampen av mai har jeg fått heklet opp litt av superwashgarnet i de fem fargene, og har laget en heklet pute.
Etter litt grubling frem og tilbake fant jeg ut at jeg ville bruke alle fem fargene sammen, og jeg tror de egentlig går ganske bra sammen.


Late in May I have got around to start using up a little of the superwash wool in five colours, and I have made a crochet cushion.
After a little thinking I decided to use all five colours toghether, and I think they do go nicely together.

25 ensfargede bestemorruter i tre omganger.

25 small single coloured granny squares.




Sammenheklede ruter, og så baksiden av puta.

All of them crocheted together, and then the back side of the cushion.



Tre knapper fra knappelageret mitt til lukking, og jeg har brukt mellomrommene til knapphull.
Og ta-dah - ferdig pute.


Three buttons from my button-stash for closing, and just using the open spaces as buttonholes.
And ta-dah - the finished cushion.


Forsiden / The front:


Og baksiden / And back:

  
Garnforbruk 223 gram :)

Jeg har også begynt å hekle en babylue av siste rest av det hvite babyullgarnet, og jeg håper å få den ferdig før måneden er over.


That's 223 grams of yarn destashed :)

I have also started crocheting a baby hat from the last bits of the white baby wool, which hopefully will be finished before May is over.

    PS: I don't know exactly why, but each time I'm at that lake high up in the mountains I must think about Norway and the fjords... :D

    Thank you Samantha, Judy, Scarlet and Linda :)

    Thank you Wendy :) This wool is store bought, and not dyed by me (though the purples look a little like my last lichen dye).

  11. Kjempefin egenkomponert heklepute.
    Fargene er i fin harmoni med hverandre.
    Smart med knapper, det tipset tar jeg med meg!
    Takk!
    Jeg var veldig spent på om mitt nye mandeltre ville klare vinteren. Heldigvis gikk det bra. Det er plantet på en solrik og lun plass.
    Ha en fin dag!
    klem
