Posted by My stash busting colour block cushion is complete.
This cushion was not without a small hiccup along the way.
This is the result of crocheting for 2 hours straight on a train, as opposed to my usual, not to be recommended for posture, slouched position on the settee. I’m always advising those new to crotchet to practice, practice their tension until it is even before starting something major.
The second half of the photo is after I had undone up to the mustard and taken up my usual slouched position.
But now it’s done.
I’ve slashed some stash.
But there’s plenty more to go before I can warrant buying some more.
Love, Lucie xx

This turned out very nice! Did you use a pillow form to stuff it? I have some forms in my sewing stash and I haven’t knit in a while. This is inspiring me to grab my needles and a ball of yarn at night.

I used stuffing out of a pillow form as the ones I had were not the right shape/size. If I need to wash it I’ll just undo the last crochet row and empty it before washing.
Nice and simple to do on an evening.

Turned out beautifully! Love those colours! Can you wash it in washing machine?

Yes, it’ll go in the washing machine but I’ll unstuff it first. I’ve just double crocheted the seam closed at one end so no biggy.

Thanks! Whats the yarn called please? I am always on the look out for machine washable yarn. And I really like the taupe colour.

I’ll have to see whether I kept a label. There’s probably one deep in my knitting bag.

So you weren’t actually crocheting for 2 hours ‘straight’ on a train at all were you? 😉 Sorry, couldn’t resist.
I love those colours.

Definately worth pulling back the wonky bit, I think I’d have tried to bish-bash-bosh it and hope it’d be ok, then it wouldn’t have looked anything like yours. Looks fab😀

Sometimes I wish I could be more relaxed about things but then they just niggle and niggle away at me!

You were so good to undo the wonky bit – I think I would have been tempted to sew it straight by machine:)

I was cross when I first saw it but I had to remind myself that it’s only crochet, not life or death.

Would blocking gave helped even it up do you think or would that just have changed the stitch definition?

Maybe but I’m a stickler for getting it right. I wouldn’t enjoy the finished item as much, otherwise.

I do know what you mean. A bit extra time is worth it in the long run.
