Story of the stool

I found this thing that Raylee encouraged me to try a few years ago...
it was ripped up material...torn into strips...and knitted into squares...
but it wasnt big enough for anything so I pulled it apart...
and crocheted a circular thing...
 
 
but again it wasnt big enough...
so I moved on to the next project...
of removing the dirty denim from this old cable drum...
that had been covered with leftover christmas paper...
and then denim and used as a stool for many years...
 

 
 then I realised the crochet circle would probably fit nicely as a cover..
so I played around a bit and found it was just right...
it was a struggle to get the last bit of crochet done...
as I had to work it when it was on the stool...


 
its now done...
the raggy top and bottom give it a bit of padding...
and the metal bolts that hold it together...
now wont scratch the floor when its dragged around...

  1. wow!!....you are the recycle queen!
    i think this one is "up-cycled" & twice removed.
    i like the way you make everything in your own style, the way you like it!!
