Down the Lane

Last month I went on holiday to Greece, but before I went, made sure I packed all the essentials!



I had decided that I would like to crochet something with the everyday colours of my beautiful Greek island, and although bunting was my initial idea, the day before I left decided to try something completely new to me - a round cushion.

So during my 'siesta time' it began, but it quickly went all wibbly wobbly



So having crocheted the front, decided to move on and make a beer mat for me and some bunting for two of my dear Greek friends too



Then some more beer mats for some UK friends



I returned home a couple of weeks ago, and haven't really been sure what to do with the half of the cushion that I made, and then a couple of days ago decided the only thing to do was to make another one for the back!

So I did that (again wibbly wobbly, but I tried to decrease the stitches to minimise the wibbliness a bit) and today have removed the olive tree green (having decided to use that in a Greek flora and fauna cushion), blocked it as best I could (that was tricky), went out and bought a cushion pad, then finally, sewed it up.

So, Ladies and Gentlemen.......may I present my big fat Greek cushion! TA DAHHHHH!!!!!



Well, at least it's round (ish!!!)

My big fat Greek cushion
It is lovely Helen, and will make you smile alot and bring back happy memories of your holiday

Wow that is lovely and well done for sorting it out.
You are getting very clever

Thanks Wendy - I am not sure I 100% sorted it, but it is certainly acceptable! I followed the pattern to the tee, but I am just not entirely sure how to make it rounder and less wibbly.

Anyone who can crochet even if it is 'wibbly' has my admiration. It looks lovely, well done.

What lovely colours Helen, well done.

How lovely!

Love it wibbly-wobblyiness and all

Helen, your cushion looks lovely. Well done, hun

It's gorgeous

It's wibblyness just makes it more special

Let's see....... The crocheting is wibbly wobbly.

Could there be a connection?

Dom!!! Are you saying I was wibbly wobbly too?

wibbly wobbliness looking good to me

Well it had it's first little head on it yesterday as my grandson had to come home from school after a couple of banged heads and a black eye !

With a wry smile, knowing he was the first to ever use it, he made himself very comfy.

You should see the shape of it now Rather glad I didn't make it a perfect round!

Actually, the pattern itself makes it more hexagonal-type shaped than round (and that is without my added wibbliness!), may see if I can find a different pattern to try.
