Mustard Granny Square Blanket

Crochet cushion

I finished my crochet cushion cover last night and I'm so happy with the way its turned out. The Stylecraft Simply DK yarn is just perfect and having a bag of left over yarn from my two blankets makes it not only a quick satisfying project but a cost effective one too. I found the pretty glitter buttons in John Lewis at Blue Water last night, 2 packs is all it needed. Simple and scumptious and added to my Macmillan alternative coffee morning draw for next week. The cushion inner was purchased from Dunlem and the size I worked to was 37 cm square. Its the perfect size too for layering up your cushions on your sofa. I have three in various sizes with the granny square cushion in the front. Think chilly days curled up on the sofa, perfect. I'll be writing up the pattern release this weekend to upload to my Ravelry and Loveknitting shops next week. Its going to make a brilliant present, I'm planning on making these for friends for Christmas! my new granny square cush

Granny square blanket for my Macmillan coffee morning

And here it is having its final row on the border. I totally love this blanket and will definitely be making another one, probably next year as I've got one custom blanket order and my hat to knit! Too many projects and not enough time, sadly. But I do manage to get a lot done in a short space of time. Use your time wisely is the key. If you live in the UK there is still time to donate here and here it is waiting for the final picot edge to be added
