This week has been quite productive.
I’ve finished the 2nd side of the cushion cover. Now need to block both sides, buy a zip and sew the whole thing up. And weave in the ends….
I also made some great progress with the dress, forming the sleeves at the moment

Nice to have the cushion done this far! WTG! The dress is coming along great too!
That dress is fantastic! What fancy places do you go so you can show off your lovely dresses?
Have a great week….
xoxoxo
The dress looks awesome so far! Love the colours that are incorporated!
Than k you, this yarn is amazing! I’m already plotting to use it again ))
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.
Love the colour of your cushion and that dress is getting there
Thank you!
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
I love how they are both coming along really well. I love how the dress is beginning to look.
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.
Thank you ))
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!)
Thank you, I agree, it would make a beautiful shawl, too!
Both projects look great! I can’t wait to see the finished dress.
Thank you!
