My Lumbar Cushion/Wrap/Blanket :)

I thought I'd share this with you all  :)

I made this a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it:

Isn't it adorable?! :)

Basically, I was bored...

I looked through my huge wool stash and decided that the 2 large balls that resembled footballs were in urgent need of being used up.  

So out they came.  :)

(Much to the relief of my large drawer.)  

I had a large grey shade and a pale lemon.  

I decided to use them both at the same time with a large 10mm hook.  

I had a vague idea of making a generous wrap.  

You know, something that I can crochet without thinking about it.  

So I did a length of chain stitch that was pretty much the span of both my arms and hooked away till the wool ran out. 

It was the depth of my middle finger to elbow (at no point did the tape measure come out for air).  

I rolled it out of the way and had a lightbulb moment...

It looked gloriously neat and tidy and the perfect size for a lumbar cushion!

Oh joy :D

Well it's final purpose was now decided upon.  

All that remained to do was to attach some funky buttons and attach some carefully situated hoops to enable closure and hey presto!

A brand new cushion for my car!!!

(And if I breakdown in winter, then I can unroll it until I my rescuer comes to assist me!)
