This summer has been "the best summer ever", with sunshine and blue sky for weeks and weeks!
A colourful and happy summer, indeed!
So, all my warm wool was put aside, and cool, colourful cotton has ruled my crafting life the last couple of months. I love it!
I started a wonderful v-stich blanket after being "sucked in" on all the v-stich madness that ruled the "crochet world" on Instagram this summer. So many beautiful blankets made it impossible not to start one myself...
I call this my Summer Slumber Blanket, and I love working on it
The problem with Instagram: too much inspiration makes you sidetrack from your projects all the time, and the result is an infinite number of WIPs, and not finishing anything!!
So of course I started a cushion project to match my Summer Slumber Blanket......
Inpired by all my colurful Rice kitchenware I keep at our summerhouse, I wanted to make a fun and colourful cushion to use in my garden lounge.
I searched online for the perfect grannysquare for such a project, and found the beautiful Rosie Posie Granny tutorial on the wonderful blog of Sandra Cherryheart.
Yellow edging...mmmm❤️
Happy yellow joining ❤️
Love how this simple joining makes the squares pop ❤️
The back is just one big, happy grannysquare
Happy and colourful, but still lacking that little extra "wow" factor, is it not?
Yes, that's right! Pom-poms are needed!
I really enjoyed making all these little pom-poms :-) ❤️
Hello!
