Current Progress on the Mahjong Cushion
I'm still working on the Majhong Cushion. It makes me happy and has no brain strenuous things going on in it. However, I am thinking that it might not end up a cushion. Instead, I might frame it and use it as wall art in my living room. I think if I did one from each cushion pattern (Mahjong, Snakes and Ladders and Checkers) it would make for a very neat decorative trio.
I am worried about 2 things if I used it as a pillow:
1) My cats would lay on it and it would become a fur covered mess.
2) My cats would claw at it and the pretty Giotto would get shredded.
My mention of Audrey yesterday generated a reasonable amount of interest. I hear that Morgan and Elisabeth beat me to the punch on starting a knit-a-long for Audrey. No matter, everyone can still share in the fun. So find yourself some Calmer (or something else you like) and get on board. Rowan rates this pattern as a "one skein" pattern, so there's no fear necessary.
Still no finished pants, but I'm only a couple of inches away from the waistline. Will I be taking these acrylic masterpieces to the KIP tonight? You never know! But if you're in town and feeling like knitting, be sure to look us up at Letizia's tomorrw between 7 and 9 pm. The address is on the image in the bar on the right hand side of my page!
Hi Teresa
I saw you were buying Rowan from the UK and thought you might like to check out the following site, as it has some great discounted Rowan & Jaeger & delivers very quickly (at least within the UK). They are also very good at keeping you in the picture about any glitches that may occur with your order. And they have back dated Rowan mags!
Ciao
I think framing the needlepoint is a great idea! I don't trust cats around anything, I have four and you can't leave anything nice anround them as they will destroy it either by accident or design! :-)
Let me know which colourways you'd like in the other cushion covers.
Yay! I'm glad someone started an Audrey knit-along. I posted about that yesterday. :-)
Hey! I'm definitely in. But only if you three co-host it together. That'll make it more fun!
The Mahjohng cushion is gorgeous! Framing it, and adding the other two patterns, is an inspired idea. I may have to copy you.
