The Popcorn Train - Cozy Cottage Popcorn Pillow

 Hello! Since I've been on the 'bubbles/bobbles/popcorns' train crocheting patterns with 'bubbles/bobbles/popcorns' stitches recently, I figured why not run with the theme. So, here is my version of the Cozy Cottage Crochet Popcorn Pillow by Craft Yarn Council.

 

Why did I change colors you ask? Weeell..Iranoutoftheblueyarns. So I improvised. I already had the back panel just hanging out waiting to be useful. It all came together in the end. I think the bright orange makes the pattern stand out, don't you? I used Milk Cotton yarns for the front panel and our local Nona yarns for the back.

 I did something a bit different with the closure. I added a couple rows at the top and added loops for the buttons. Next time, I'll add more rows instead of just three. The light blue yarn was just sitting near the front panel when I suddenly thought about a place somewhere far away, and decided to add it to the pillow.

 Santa Fe. The color inspiration for this pillow. I just love it!

So, now I'm off to read for awhile. Not sure if I'll be productive then. Just wait and see...Thanks for stopping by!

My Knobby Cushion Cover

 Actually, the pattern is called Textured Bubble Stitch by MyPicot. This pattern is pretty but it can be a tad boring after a while(for me, that is). I frogged four times at the beginning because as usual I didn't read the pattern properly. I know, I know, my bad. You should know, if you're going to do this pattern, that you have to turn your work after every row.

 

You can see the 'knobby' bits from this angle. So, to run with the theme of bubbles, I did a pom pom edging. Fun! I've used this edging three times now, all for cushion covers. It's real easy to do. You can find the pattern here.

 

I used dark purple yarns for the edging as it highlights all the colors of the cushion cover.

  

The back view. Just a simple granny square.

Now, I trying to figure out what I'm going to crochet or knit next. I have so many patterns that I can't choose one! Oh my...

Projects Past & Present

 

 Hello everybody! Looooong time no post, right? I've just been lazy but I hope to rectify that soon. Isn't that baby blanket just sweet?? It's my latest project that I finished last month. It's called the Fluffy Meringue Blanket by Yarnspirations. I love the pattern, yarn and colors! It's just perfect for a baby as a security blanket. I think if I made it bigger and in a bolder color it could be perfect for an adult, too. Let's have a closer look.

Pretty and sweet!

Okay, I'm going to blast you with projects I've made within these last few months so sit back and enjoy!

 The above pattern is from Dada's Place called the Primevera Flowers Granny square.

 

 

 I found this pattern one day while surfing Pinterest from a Swedish blog called 'so crocheted' when translated. I was very interested in creating a similar cushion cover with some minor adjustments. Although it looks easy to do but it did took quite some time.

 Ripple has always been my favorite pattern! I just crocheted a long length then sew it together like an envelope.

 

 

 This is the Flower Square VI from Color 'n Cream blog.

 

 Did you see the Japanese Flower cushion covers on Dada's Place? Aren't they just gorgeous?? And as usual I had to make one, too! Though I wrongly read the diagram so the flowers are a little wonky. Anyhow, I enjoyed making them. I was proud of myself for sewing my first cushion cover (envelope style), ever. I just hand sewed the crocheted piece onto it or rather the cover onto the crocheted piece.

Alright! So, today I've shown you all the cushion covers I've made and a blanket. Tomorrow will be the bags turn. I hope I've inspired you to make one cushion cover, at least :)

Take care and see you soon!
