Granny Tissue Box Cover

 

One quick project as I promised a while ago. It is a granny tissue box cover. I've made two similar covers for rectangle boxes before, I wrote about one of them here.
And here on Ravelry you can see another I've made for Christmas time on the end of the last year and I noticed I didn't show it for you....

 Is the time for a cubic shaped box. Here it is.

  The size of the box is 10cm*11cm*11,5cm, nearly a cub. While I had not internet I had enough a free time to prepared that description for you.  Hope it will be useful. Hope it is clear.

The yarn I've used is Top Value by James C.Brett left from a several my projects as a Rainbow Granny Tissue Box Cover and Coasters, Simple Square Blanket(now finished), Ripple Blanket, Christmas Star Garland. If you remember I'm planning to use  all my stash!  But this did not prevent me to buy a little more yarn! Creative Cotton by Rico Design I've bought online from Casa Cenina. What a lovely bright and nice yarn! I'm happy to have it!

Some of them variegated skeins on the picture are not Rico Cotton, it is some German cotton I've bought at LIDL store.


And as usual I have a few small things on the go. Two beanies and one triangular capitium - all of them are for summer, from cotton yarn and for my daughters; and one beautiful purse which I saw on the Talitha's blog and couldn't resist not to take up this colourful lovely purse using my new Rico cotton! As well I've started to make a baby blanket for my new niece... And I have finished the Simple Square Blanket for My Son and I've made one striped bag for me.

Enjoy every day and every single moment!
