A Little Crafty Nighttime Crochet

It is yet another Fiber Arts Friday - and this week I have yet another finished object, I'm happy to report.

Several weeks back I provided a sneak peek at a large project I'm slowly but surely getting through. This is a companion piece to that much larger project:

Completed with stash yarn (in colors I just love this time of the year), I'm pretty flushed to show you my latest bedroom pillow cover. It's a riff on Sarah London's wooleater blanket pattern, which I adapted to work back and forth, as opposed to in-the-round granny square style. Because the pattern is easily memorized, this was my nighttime no-thinking needed crochet project for about a week. (BTW, Sarah has a new book out - and even though her current blog tour skipped yours truly [written with tongue firmly planted in cheek, although I have been a faithful reader of her blog], the book is worth a look-see. Mine's on back order. Sheesh.)
 
Additionally, I added some sweet buttons. I cannot say I'm usually much of a hearts kinda gal, but for the bedroom and bath, I like it in small doses. Besides, that square piece of bling in the middle nicely counteracts any potential suger overload.

Now, about the much bigger companion project ... well, let's hope I get that completed soon. :)
