Cowl


Pattern: Rasta Neckwarmer
Yarn: Malabrigo Rasta, 1 skein
A birthday present for Blandine...a very quick and easy knit, with a beautiful result.  It took me just a couple days, and then another week to get around to sewing on the buttons.

Armchair Reupholster

I've been wanting to tackle furniture re-upholstery for a while now, and managed to get around to doing this armchair over my Christmas vacation.

Before

During

After, minus the seat cushion, which was the most tiresome part of the whole project!

This took the better part of 3 days, and the seat cushion took another entire afternoon, but it was a VERY satisfying project.  My only regret is that it has to live with someone else until I move back to the US, but Michele and Eloise are happy to provide a home for it!
