| :: ripple crochet |
I think it's going to look great... much to the disgust of my Mr... he's not too keen on crochet! I think he thinks I'm going to go crazy and start crochet everything in the house! There are some crazy crocheting people out there... ha ha ha!
What do you think? Am I bit crazy, is it going to look ok or is it going to be totally daggy/unsightly?

I also finished my little sausage dog, he's so cute! He was looking a bit strange as I was putting him together but looked gorgeous once all his little bits were sewn on :)

Day 6 of blogtoberfest 2011
Hope you are having a great creative week!
There are loads more creative people over at our creative spaces...
I don't know, I grew up with these blankets so I'm not sure I can be objective! But they're all the rage now, so if you like it, go for it! My mother crocheted these endlessly, it seems, in truly awful acrylic (when I realized there were places that sold lovely-feeling yarn? what a revelation!!). In fact, I have a couple in my own house. My mom made me one when I was in high school and the other to take to college. The kids love them, and they stick their fingers through the holes exactly like I used to do as a kid. And because they are made of that awful acrylic, when the cat hair builds up too much I stick them in the washer and they are practically dry by the end of the spin cycle. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh my - your little sausage dog is just adorable! And I like the chevron cushion cover - I think touches of crochet around the house can look absolutely fantastic.
ReplyDeleteOh my that little sausage dog is the cutest thing!
ReplyDeleteThe cushion cover looks to be coming along really well and I think those colours should go well with your couch.
Cute dog. I say go with the crochet. It looks good.

Definately not crazy, I think the cushion is looking great, and the dog..keep crocheting it's good for the soul :)Sam
ReplyDeleteso not crazy! I am really keen on the black, white crochet combination. and the dog is so cute
ReplyDeleteI started a ripple cushion cover a while ago and it's lying abandoned in my WIP pile ... something didn't quite go right somewhere along the line and I fear I'll be unravelling it and starting over. Yours, however, looks great! I like the understated colours - very chic! I'm sure your husband will come round!
ReplyDeleteYou can't go too crazy about crocheting :D Love that cute, tiny crocheted dog! I was thinking: you could even make a key holder of it!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you´ve chosen for the ripples! and your little dog is just cute!

ReplyDeleteI love the colours! what brand wool are you using? i find it hard to find nice wool here in oz sometimes!
