Solution to comfort at the Knitting and Stitching show. This little pink cushion ended up being a godsend whilst I was working/demonstrating at my stand. A long time ago (aged 21!) I decided it was a really good idea to jump off a 30-40ft cliff in
Negril, Jamaica, despite a sign saying 'Cliff jumping can cause serious and permanent damage. Result was damaged nerves in my back.....
so if I have been on a knitting marathon to complete a project this old injury starts to ache and hurt. I have a planned furniture project for my apartment next year of creating a huge scale chaise
longue covered in big scaled cable. So this was an excellent opportunity to create something to ease my back and test drive some cable patterns.
The cable used a twisted bobble version with a heart motif set into the middle...
For some reason the first motif stitch count was not quite right but I managed to
camouflage this with some crochet flowers (at least the colour scheme
matched my stand)
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh don't tell anybody!
What I didn't expect was the amount of visitors commenting on my
little cushion which was not really intended to be a example of my work!
I created the cover by forming a T shape which was then sewn into place.
