Greek cushionGreek cushionLast 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!!!) Helen xx

It is lovely Helen, and will make you smile alot and bring back happy memories of your holiday Re: Greek cushionWow that is lovely and well done for sorting it out.

If you can't be a good example........ you will just have to be a horrible warning Re: Greek cushionThanks 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.

Re: Greek cushionLet's see....... The crocheting is wibbly wobbly.

Re: Greek cushionwibbly wobbliness looking good to me
Re: Greek cushionWell 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. Helen xx
