December OH HOLY NIGHT Porch Pillow - F.O.

...well the December pillow is finished and on the porch...

...I took a few photos...this one without flash...it's kind of gloomy on the porch...

...and this one with flash...shows the silver of the star a little bit better...

...overall...I'm really happy with how it turned out...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

December OH HOLY NIGHT Porch Pillow - Day ONE

December OH HOLY NIGHT Porch Pillow

...my first thought as I looked at my stash of different colours of blue yarn...was to do a gradient from light at the bottom to dark at the top...with the graphic done is black...but after I got them all laid out in order I decided that I didn't want it to be that dark at the top...and I didn't think that there would be enough contrast between the black and the royal or navy blues...and I have a lot of small to medium sized balls of light (or baby) blue...so I decided just to use all of those up...alternating rows with each ball...

~Have a lovely day!
