Finished!

I have finally finished my cushion! It has certainly taken me long enough. Around 2 years I think!

The finished cushion....so soft!
It's made from cashere-merino blend aran yarn (Debbie Bliss make) so it wasn't cheap...about £5 a ball but it's such lovely yarn and it's so soft. I have a baby jumper pattern to knit for my niece so I will probably get some more of this wool for that. I only need 3 balls of it so not too much money to spend! My next project is a jumper for myself out of Aran yarn. The pattern calls for the same as I used for the cushion but as I need 13 balls I opted for a slightly cheaper version without the cashmere. I might consider making some more cushions out of the same wool as pressies for people. My aim is to practice my shaping as I haven't tried making clothes before.
