Here's the proof!
I can't crochet (or knit for that matter).
I could never make those pretty things I showed you yesterday!
But I was able to use this lopsided, misshapen creation...
Here.
When I decided a few years ago to cover the cushions with WHITE!
What was I thinking???
Amazingly enough, that little crocheted THING has
SAVED that chair cushion!!
It's still as white as when I had it covered!
Yeah!!
It's not the prettiest solution, but it works.
And THAT's what matters, right?
AND, it looks so much better when I can put a little
something right in the middle!
I made this mini pillow with felt and
a little bit of embroidery floss!
SUPER SIMPLE!
I'm adding this to amylou's sew and tell today.

You're still one step ahead of me in the crochet sweepstakes! Love your little pillow!
ReplyDeleteSo funny! Keep at it--I am a novice on knitting, but I keep trying. Everyone in my family is getting a scarf for Christmas--weather they like it, or not!
ReplyDeleteHey, at least you can crochet. Me - not in my dreams...Like that little pillow - it is very cute....
ReplyDeleteJust don't give up on the crochet.
ReplyDeleteI love the little pillow. It would be great for a gift tag on a larger gift.
Its not lopsided, tts hand made and therefore unique.
ReplyDeleteLove the pillow! And your crochet looks good! It has served a good purpose!
ReplyDeleteYour mind! It just never stops working, does it? You come up with the neatest ideas. Do you think while you sleep, too? :o)
ReplyDeleteIt adds a nice texture to the chair. It looks great to me.
ReplyDeleteit looks great
ReplyDeleteI can't crochet either so I think you've done really well to complete something big enough to cover a chair.
ReplyDeleteI would love to learn to crochet. Everyone I know knits, not me. Cute pillow.
ReplyDelete...LOL....silly girl....but a practical I must
ReplyDeletesay!!
I used to crochet y-e-a-r-s ago...hhhmmm, I
wonder if I still could???
And it keeps the handmade look going in the house, too. It looks nice! As my friend Beth says, make something too perfect, it can lose the hand made charm. Make an error, it wasn't made in the factory, then! :-} pokey
ReplyDeletegreat job! that's about what my crocheted stuff looks like :)
ReplyDeleteYou go girl...it looks great. Thanks for sharing!
