Granny Rose Pillow

 I had no internet all last week… I understood that I’m an internet addict.  I came to my computer every morning and walked away… to make breakfast and do my usual chores which I usually do after surfing the web in the mornings… Oooooh… I got used to living without internet on the 4^th day. And I liked it! I went to sleep at midnight, not at 2 or 3 o’clock. For once I was watching TV with my family without a crochet hook in my hands because I had enough time to crochet during the day… 

And now about a Granny Rose pillow… The pillow is ready! While I was making it I decided to give my Granny Roses to my sister, she lives about 80km away from me and she is not very happy right now due to her son’s Kawasaki syndrome (I never heard before about that illness). So I hope my pillow will make her a little bit happier!

  I started taking pictures about Week 3 progress while my daughters were beside me, and look what I got! 

 (Above part of this post was corrected by two my sons.)

Just playing with the flowers

Who stole the last flower?

An Easter Rabbit came to eat a bisquit...

Almost all is eaten...

 And finished pillow!

  some more bright pictures...

I chose as-you-go joining method. I like it so much! Here you can find the tutorial how to do it.

The border I made: 3 dc in the one stitch, skip 1 st, 1 sc in the next st, skip 1 st,  etc...

In the corner stitch do 5 dc instead of 3 dc.

 I made the pillow on both side - it is more easy for me then sew one side to the fabric.
For the back I made 4 simple granny squares in 8 rounds each and I joined them with as-you-go method.

I was so happy making the pillow. Thank you, Astri, for your great crochet-a-long! 

So my beautiful Granny Rose Pillow now lives in my sister's house! By the way my sister has hinted that she would be happy to get a couple more of similar pillows ... :)

And the good news: my nephew now is at home, he feels much better! 

I'm so happy again - another my big project A-simple-square-blanket-for-my-son is also ready and I have some it's pictures as well, so I'll tell you very soon about the blanket and one quick project (I've promised in the last post).

My dears

 I wish you a happy and a sunny day -

every day!
