Once there was a sad side table…

Standard

After seeing the site of Wood & Wool Stool, I thought about my sad looking side tables.

The badly needed a coat of paint, and I realised that my crochet skills are much better than my painting skills.

So I started making a square and see where it goes…

I used my old-faithful Paris drops again, but this time with a 4mm needle instead of my usual 5,5mm which makes a thicker, almost puffy effect.

This is great for creating a thick cover for my rickety tables.

After some measuring, and attaching a drawstring to pull it all together (elastic would be much better), here is the result:

Happier-looking, right?

What do you think?
