What am I thinking?



My chair cushions are being put on the back burning for now. I have decided to make sweaters for friends of mine that are practically family. I am making the Cobblestone Pullover from Interweave Knits for him. I am changing the yarn to Cascade 220 in a yummy navy blue. I am making the v-neck shaped cardigan for her from Knitting Pure and Simple. I am changing the yarn for this one also to Lamb's Pride Worsted. Hopefully I will have enough time to finish these projects. It has taken 7 years for me to finally decide to make sweaters for my friends. They have been so great to me over the years. It will be my little thank you plus I will be off the hook for years when it comes to giving gifts.

Knitted Chair Cushions

Diamond Chair Cushion I have decided to knit chair cushions for my new IKEA chairs. They are made out of Cascade 220 and the pattern is the Diamond Chair cushion pattern from Weekend Knitting. I am hoping to use up stash yarn to make them. The pattern calls for Classic Elite Montera but since my chairs are smaller I decided that 5 stitches per inch was fine.
