Finished.....

Jacob's cushion is all finished!
Such a great sense of achievement!
I know it's just a cushion, but it seemed to take forever...
all those little dc (or sc for those who use US terms)
Jacob's cushion measures approx 48cm square
and is the same front and back, as you can see in the picture below.
this was the first time I have made button holes and quickly
learnt that they are much easier than I thought they would be ;)
The two squares were joined on three sides using two rounds of dc.
each square started with a chain of 75
with 102 rows of dc (sc US terms) this made each side square.
I used Panda Machinewash 8 ply Crepe Wool
4.5mm hook.
I'm already working on my next project
and also planning an afghan for Lachlan.
Take care
~ Gillian ♥

I just want to take this opportunity to express my sorrow
to all those experiencing the heartbreaking flooding
in the Eastern & Southern States of Australia.
and for those in Western Australia
who have had bush fires rage around them.
For those who have lost their loved ones
our nation grieves with you.
For those who have lost their homes,
pets, crops, livestock & businesses
take care, stay strong and
know that we are praying for you x

Oh Gillian I love it! My son was telling me off the other day because I have made heaps for my girls and have yet to finish anything big for him yet. I'm never sure on colours for boys - but your cushion looks great!

The floods sound terrible - we've had it on the news daily over here in the UK. It's all very sad =[

I'm watching the news about QLD too - it's all so horrific.

Lucky Jacob! Those colours are great Gillian and your crochet is so neat and even. Well done!!

It's so hard to fathom the impact of so much devestastion from these floods over such a vaste area of our wonderful land. I pray that we all get behind our people and offer whatever assistance we possibly can.
My prayers for all in need right now.
