So I absolutely love to knit, but when it comes to the finishing touches I am a demotivated loser. No matter if it is weaving in ends or blocking, usually stuff sits quite a while finished in my knitting basket before I get it done. And this time it was even worse, because I had to add a zipper... one of the things I hate so most, because I find it so hard to sew it in so that the fabric doesn't curl. Which is the reason that the colourwork pillow case I finsihed in August and that I really enjoyed knitting, had to wait until today before I got my act together...
... but ta-dah! It is finally done! The zipper is fine (the cushion might be a tad small), and I absolutely love how this turned out. I admit, it doesn't really work well with our terracotta-coloured couch , but I will find a place for it somewhere in the house. And who knows? I might knit it again in colours that work better in our living room... we'll see.
