My goodness it was hot today! It reached 40.8 C in Melbourne this afternoon, and at nearly 8pm it’s still 39 Celsius.
Since this latest project is actually a belated Christmas present for a friend and still needs to be posted to the other side of the country, I thought I better get it photographed and wrapped – regardless of the heat and fading light.
I’ve been wanting to try out this pin cushion pattern for a while now. I’ve seen pictures on Pinterest and Flickr of similar, but haven’t actually seen a pattern.
So, this was a made-up-by-me effort, and I’m quite pleased with it. Actually, I wrote down the pattern so if anyone wants it, I could certainly try to transcribe it into something half coherent!
This was made using Rowan 4ply Cotton. I love this yarn. It could be made quicker using an 8ply, but I like the finer look of the 4ply.
Moo really had no interest, it was so much nicer on the sofa in front of the aircon.
Well, I better get it wrapped up and posted!

I really really like it. The colour and yarn ply choice are great. If you do find the time to write a pattern, I would certainly put it on the top of my to do list. You don’t want to see the hand-me-down pin cushion I am currently using!
Done! I’ll write the pattern up this weekend for sure… but please ask questions if there are any bits that don’t make sense, lol! xx
Fantastic! I look forward to it.
In England it is minus 11C where I live this morning, oh for some heat!! pincushion is adorable.
Haha! I can’t imagine what minus 11C would feel like. I just read on another blog that it’s snowing on the south coast of England… I don’t think that happens very often does it?
IT IS GORGEOUS!!! I would also love the pattern, if you have the time and the inclination! You are most clever đ
Thankyou! I’m writing out the pattern today, so stay tuned! đ
Pin cushion looks so nice and delicate!
And the photographs are great, fading light turned out to be just right for them đ
really nice!!!

This is beautiful. Please share your pattern. đ
I had a dream the other day about a pin cushion that looked just like this! Spooky….
It’s gorgeous,Terri xxx
Haha! That’s so funny – I thought I was the only one that dreamt of craft. Since you like it, I’m sure I can manage a little one for your sewing box xxx
I love it! If you put the pattern up, I’ll definitely make one. Avis x
That is super cute. I would love to try the pattern if you make one up.
This is beautiful, well done and I would love to see the pattern too xx
What a beautiful gift! Moo is so darn cute!!
Thanks Lisa! Yes, Moo thinks she’s cute too, lol! She actually answers to pretty girl, since I call her that so much she thinks it’s her name đ
That is a great idea I love it! Thank you for sharing.
It’s so lovely – and such pretty colours!
