Doggie cushion

When I got Floyd, I had a big problem with him standing or sitting on the kitchen table while I was gone. Turns out, he just wanted to look out of the window.


I got this sidetable second-hand, painted it white and crocheted a sweet little cushion cover. The sewing part was kindly done by Mirka of mirkadesigns.
Pattern is from a vintage crochet magazine and yarn is cotton by Pierrot yarns.


I makes a pretty little bench and the doggies love it.

We liked so many of the colourway names, but we thought long and hard and decided to go for Pheasant. Congratulations stratton6!
There will be an update later today and Pheasant colourway will be featured on few different yarn bases.
Thank you for participating :) I'm looking forward to more giveaways in the future.

Giveaway!

We've been lucky enough to go to the launch of Carol Feller's amazing new book Contemporary Irish Knits and we have snatched a signed copy!

Among other wonderful irish yarn manufacturers and dyers, Hedgehog fibres is featured in the book. I can't be more excited.

The book is full of highly wereable, mostly cabled patterns so you are in for a treat.
To win a signed copy of Carol's book, check out the pictures of a new HF colourway below and let us know what you think we should name this one. The yarn in picture is Aran Merino. Please only leave comments to this post.

We will choose the name we like the best and the winner will get the book, along with a skein of this lovely yarn.

You have until Tuesday!
