My dearest friend Bobbie was christened Euphemia. She switched to Bobbie aged about 20, then when she went in a Nursing Home aged 84 changed back to Effie - even she doesn’t know why! She has insipred me in the past to do tea cosies and other designs. I love her to bits. She always sits in the same chair, and asked me to adjust her back cushion the other day, so that’s when I got the idea - a cushion with both Bobbie and Effie on it.
Bought cushion interior first. 16 inch square from local shop, duck feathers She used to keep ducks when she and Dick lived in France, so she will appreciate this. All sock yarn remnants, back done first, 112 sts x 160 rows to get size, yarn changed approx every 10 rows or when it ran out.
Punched a card with Bobbie and Effie. had to make letters smaller than normal to fit. Turned Effie upside down.
Four strips of 30 sts, sewn after. All lettering same shade of yellow/gold. I cord of 5 sts in yellow.
The pile of sock yarn has gone down a bit, but need to work harder as I bought these goodies at the Nottingham Yarn Expo on Saturday:
