Inspired by this one (and no, I don't speak Danish - if that's what it is!?!). I used Lucy's flat circle pattern to get the shape, omitting every 3rd row to stop the unwanted wavy feature that appeared, most likely due to a combination of using dc rather than htc, and the heavy weight of the yarn.
I used Noro Silk Garden in colourway 241 (discontinued - spewing). The colours are much deeper and more intense than they appear in the photos - a flaw in my photography skills or camera or both I suspect. The button is a lovely ruby red, if that's any indication!
Unfortunately I like the finished product so much that I'd like to keep it for myself, but if I did that my swaperama partner would probably never get anything!

I LOVE that pin cushion so much!
After seeing that, I am tempted to join myself up with a few last minute swappers and make one myself.
Don't forget to add a pic to the flickr. X
groovy pincushion.
I popped over to your blog from Punky's. You look like one clever lady!
Have a happy day!

Amazingly beautiful. Totally spewing about the discontinued colourway. It is very lush - even if the colours are a bit out in your photo.
You are a crochet super-star.
That is what you are.
Its great!!! I am close to finishing.
Wow - that is really beautiful - no wonder you want to keep it! Might be time to make another? Your swap partner is sooooo lucky!
Another gorgeous pin cushion! What a lucky swapper you will have receiving that one. I love the colors too.
Ahhh so that is what that adorable bit of crochet was for. Very clever - and yes, spewing the yarn is discontinued. I guess your swappee will have a one off original then?

Well done clever girl.
such a cute design! and I love the colours.
Fab pincushion but I'm still chortling over the use (and context) of 'spewing'! Great word.
what a great little project, i can see why you want to keep it!
It's gorgeous clever woman. I'm with you - I'd want to keep it to, and I'm with Tania - 'spewing' - what a fab word.
