February LOVE Pillow...Day Ten Progress...

...so sorry about that...

...but I made a quick trip to New Mexico over the weekend...and didn't take a single project with me...

...but I'm back home now...and I've finished the last 10 rows...

...I can't wait to get the pillow together and on the porch...

~Have a lovely day!

~Have a lovely day!

February LOVE Pillow...Day Seven Progress...

...another 10 rows...
...I thought I'd show you the back of the pillow...as I'm not stranding the off-white across the backs of the letters...but using more of the bobbin method...just picking up the colour changes from underneath...

...and Kitten loves to sit on any form of knitting or crochet that's left lying around...

~Have a lovely day!

February LOVE Pillow...Day Six Progress...

...another ten rows...and I may have messed up...the first row or so of the "L" is a slightly different colour of pink...crocheting away in front of the tv...and I didn't notice that this stash ball of yarn was more than one colour...

~Have a lovely day!

Start your engines...for...the February LOVE Pillow...

...it's time to gather your materials...

...and print your pattern...there's a new link to the printable graph on the sidebar...it's also available on Ravelry...

...and choose your colours...you can choose whatever colours you want...

...I'm using:

Carnation or Baby Pink for the "L"...
Bright RED...for the "O"...
Hot Pink or Fuscia for the "V"...
a Mauve-y/Purple-y Pink for the "E"...

...and Off-white for the background...

...and I think I'm going to use bobbins instead of carrying the yarn across the back...because each letter is so 'contained'...

...I can't wait to get started...

~Have a lovely day!
