THE PINCUSHION
Happy Needlework Monday Everyone!
I hope all are doing good...there has been many countries easing the lockdown period, but we have to be careful and take precautions.
The project I am sharing today is a pincushion I did while watching a two hour movie and I did this in one sitting. I used 3 different shades of cotton thread and a 2.5 cm hook.
I crocheted this as I go, there is no pattern and the stitches as you can see are very simple.
The style of the square is that of a granny square. I used cotton balls to make the fillings. First I sew a square pocket that is a bit smaller than the finished pincushion, inserted the fillings and closed it .
When I finished both front and back sides of the pincushion, I attached both sides both by crocheting them together thru a simple stitch.
I crocheted the edges until 2 rows and in the last edge, I used the light green thread and made picots all over so it would look dainty.
I opt for projects like this and I simply choose something I can finish in-one-sitting. I tend to like smaller needlework these days. Otherwise if I start a bigger one, I knew it will become a work in process for a long time.
I am thanking these wonderful people below for initiating this fun challenge where everyone can showcase their talent and share their lovely ideas in this community... interested to join? You can read how to enter here.
