I have frantically been working on Christmas presents for the past month or so. Decided that many of my gifts this year should be homemade. It still seems that Christmas is far away, but when you have the opportunity to get your shipment to friends and family in Denmark without the help of US Postal Services, I really need to take it. That means all packages have to be ready to send of in two weeks. Still a way to go, but here is a little sneak peek at one of the little presents.
The inner part of the cushion is made of one skein of the fabulous."Knit Collage". This particular one is the "Raindance".

The back and the rim of the cushion is crochet in a 100 % thick merino wool. It was a lot of fun making this. Only challenge was to get the little sparkle items, that originally was part of the Saries that this yarn is recycled from, to end up on the front of the cushion!
As the entire cushion is made in single crochet stitches (Double crochet (UK) and Fastmasker (DK), into the back stitch of the previous round of stitches, it was very easy to sew together at the end. The two sides almost blend together.

Knit Collage can be bought all around the world. Vendors can be found on their website: www.knitcollage.com I found my first skein in a little fun Art Store in the tiny town of Chester, CT ( normally don't sell yarn, but who could resist this?) and when I needed more for my Christmas presents I just found a stockiest locally.
