The menorah pillow!
I have to post this before it becomes Hanukkah present #8:
Front:
and deconstructed:
Three-needle bind-off on the top:
Which was tedious so I soon moved on to a crochet hook:
And what to do about all these ends - you know, the ends are invisible when the pillow is all put together.
Final step:
There are 4 buttonholes on the back. Do I conquer I-cord to make the knots that are in the directions,
go through my heirloom tin of buttons. The pillow cover is machine-washable but not if I put use these old buttons.
or go with new buttons.
Specs:
Menorah pillow, Handknit Holidays produced by Melanie Falick, made in Heirloom, shade 725, by Australian Yarn Company, purchased from The Yarn Exchange, DeKalb IL.
Edited to add: I found reference to not finishing this pillow in time for gift-giving the previous year all the way to the bottom of this archive. Obviously this has been on my mind.
