While grocery shopping I found this 100% wool yarn on sale, so I thought “why not” and bought 8 balls?! Coming home I knew, it would need to be a bigger project for two reasons;
1 – it crochets up on an 8mm hook
and
2 – I had bought so much of it…
A little tip: If you want to add a little extra texture to a project, the Frontpost Double Crochet is a simple but effective adjustment.
Crochet is the “funner” DIY
I have recently given my sewing machine to a charity shop, as I hardly ever used it. Now I really miss it, because this meant I had to sew the inner pillow for the stuffing by hand. It is definitely not one of my finer skills, but as long as they are functional, I am happy. Essentially they just need to keep the stuffing from spilling out of the seams.
When the inner pillow was placed inside the pouf just eight rows from being finished, I really felt like doing a workout – I sat in a very awkward position with the pouf in my lap and my arms high above in order to reach the hole I was slowly increasing. So who says you need to be a member of a health club to work out… Just grab a big hook and crochet or knit away.
