Wabi-sabi cover.
I knitted some (stress-) squares a while ago, and have now made them into a cushion cover. I knitted with cotton yarn and very big needles - I like the lacy look it created. Then I crocheted them together. Imperfect, humble, simple.

OK - I just googled wabi-sabi and my brain is hurting - please explain it in simple terms!!
I always love the muted colors you choose for your work. And your knitted squares look very nice.
I had to look up Wabi Sabi too. I found: "Pared down to its barest essence, wabi-sabi is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature."
Being very imperfect myself I think I will check out this philosophy more. And the wabi sabi yarn on the next googled site also looks wonderful.
wabi-sabi- my cup of tea! I love your knitty cover- I am very impressed- I never could knit and I admire it so. The sun did come out for about 30 minutes, took Dexter for a stroll. so thank you for sending it!
Thanks! I loved her work and it was fun to try something completely different.
Your cover is beautiful and delicate-like Leenie I love your muted colours too. I like the sound of Wabi-Sabi-and look forward to hearing more!
Thank you dear Anairam!
I like your cushion cover, ring and your necklace.
Love

must buy cotton yarn!
i love wabi sabi. can't wait for you to post about the book.
^^sorry for using the wrong name there.
Perfectly imperfect.
Beautiful! makes me want to do something similar. thanks for the inspiration!
well, either my needles aren't big enough or my yarn isn't thin enough. i'm not getting the same beautiful effect that you did.
Fantastic! So full of cleverness and emotion! So gentle and textured!
