   The cushion back looks good. I am looking forward to seeing the finished dress.

     Thanks a lot! I really hope the cushion cover evens out with blocking – one of the corners looks horrid, as I used the yarn from ripping another project – didn’t have enough in the skeins.

   Both are coming along nicely – I suspect the cushion is done by now – it’s lovely.

     Mmmm, not really – I hate sewing up, especially if it involves sewing in zips… I haven’t even bought one yet. But I hope that I won’t be procrastinating for much longer

     Thank you. The dress is really shaping up. I’ve finished the sleeves section and think of blocking it to see how it’ll look

   I keep thinking I would like to knit a cushion. I even have the yarn all picked out, but I’ve been holding back until I have a bit more time… Looking forward to seeing the cushion completed, it looks great already.

   Fab progress on that dress. I’ve not checked in for a few weeks, so it’s lovely to see what people have been up to!

     I find cushions to be quite quick. For this one I’ve used fingering weight, but if you go for aran, a small 60x60cm (24″) cusion is really quick. As a wedding present I made 2 cushions in 10 days. Of course everyone’s speed is different, but compared to a sweater or a blanket, they are quick :)

   Your two projects made me smile as they could not be more different. Both are lovely.

    visiting from creative friday linky…the piece so far on your dress….looks really cool as is for a shawl or just something over the shoulders of a sleevless dress (I don’t wear sleeveless anything!)
