she knit covers for her sofa!
Hi everyone,
My Mom sent me an article from the Sunday, Feb. 22 issue of the Victoria, B.C. Times Colonist. In it is an article on page B4 about a woman from Saanich, B.C. who knit covers for her 6 seater sofa. It took 2 1/2 yrs. and 15.3 meters of yarn.. The sofa now has a lovely cable pattern, and looks gorgeous. What a huge labour of love!!! take care, Linda |

I'm sure I have an article somewhere with directions for a chair cover (time to
update my index). I think it was in Vogue Knitting, most likely after 1996. Dora |

Here we are. Update your favorite chair or sofa with a surprisingly simple
knitted slipcover. The article says wool and mohair combined makes a particularly good cover. 'Preferred Seating' by Teva Durham, Spring/Summer 2001 Vogue Knitting, pp. 24, 26, 113. Vogue knitting does not look kindly upon reproduction of its patterns on the internet. However, the web site says individual patterns may be purchased if you contact the publisher when the magazine is oop. Better go. My cat wants attention very badly. No knitting for Dora.
