So, there's this blog. It's written by Lucy. It's called "Attic 24." I'm in love with it. The colors. The crochet. It is all lovely.
A while ago, Lucy offered a pattern for her
Summer Garden Granny Square. I knew when I saw it that it was something special. A few days ago, I decided to try it and I fell deeper in love. I fell so much in love with the granny square that I decided to create a pillow (my current obsession). The bonus: It's my coworker, Alison's birthday tomorrow and it would make a great present for her.
Just look at what I made:

These are the true colors. |

The back was a little different. |
I'm so excited to see her fact tomorrow. These pictures do not do this pillow any justice. It is so lovely!
I love Attic24 - love, love, LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteYour pillow is absolutely gorgeous! I hope your co-worker is thrilled with her gift.
I have yet to try a Granny Square but plan to soon.
