Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?

Pillows... Knitted Pillows to be exact.

My new couch was delivered last weekend and it came with the ugliest pillows. I really really hate them. I hate them so much that we eat our dinner on them.. Litterally.. to save the couch from getting crumbs in it.

So I've been thinking of knitting some of my own.. Peggy knitted some that I really like.. but I ofcourse would have to use blue yarn..

I've also been searching the library archives for promising patterns.. I checked out one book but I'm not sure I like any of the patterns in it. Allthough the knitted bath mat is promising.




Oh and what is that? My TCC! I'm still working on it even though the progress seems kinda slow. Allthough it only felt slow when I saw the date of my last progress picture.. I've been busy.. but I've been knitting on it exclusively for the past three days. I think I've been doing quite well.. and I'm pleased that I've been able to handle the pattern so far.. I'm on the last repeat of "Curving the cable lines" and then comes the shoulder shaping..

I've also knitted quite a few coasters out of hardware store twine.. but for some reason I just can't keep them square. I think I cast on waaay too tight. Squares aren't squares when they have one rounded edge. lol.

Anyhow.. hopefully soon I'll find a great pillow pattern that I won't mind knitting twice.. (or four times.. if they're two sided and the same.) I welcome any ideas!

Your TCC is looking good! Nice couch =) No ideas on the pillows yet. The pattern I'm using isn't supposed to be that big, I'm just making it with chunky yarn and huge needles so it grew by quite a bit. So yes it's 4 strands but 2 at a time and you switch every time you get back to the right side running up the side looselyish =p Yes I am crazy, I truly am!
