STOOL RECOVERY

I was in one of my favorite craft shops recently buying more yarn for my Morganite cardigan, when I came across this weird yarn on sale called RibbonXL. I’ve been wanting to crochet with one of these types of yarn things for a while now, and felt I had a little light bulb moment as I picked it up and envisioned a crochet cover for this old ugly stool I have. The stool has been in the house longer than I have, and has been used regularly. The top is worn and covered in paint stains, but it’s still a really good and sturdy stool.

I grabbed my size 9 hook and started crocheting, using a double crochet stitch. Since the yarn was so thick and the crochet hook so big, it was a pretty quick job. Once the cover was finished, I stitched it in place using the same yarn. The yarn is pretty stretchy, so the cover fit like a glove. 

I liked the end result, but I was a little unsure about the color at first. I didn't quite realize it when I was buying it in the shop, but it's a little mossy in person, and I think I would have preferred it to be more grey. I think it's grown on me now though, and it's a definite improvement from what the stool was like before!
