ikea transformed

This is a wonderful double bed sofa made by Ikea and usually covered in a bright red or blue nylon slip cover. I managed to make a more traditional cover and cushion and knitted a throw for it. Dear husband sat on it all to show you it was for real. The poinsettias are forced to produce red leaves in December/January in Australia which makes them look good against the new upholstery. The knitted throw was done with a combination of yarns on very big needles. Great to do but pricey.
