I'm so excited to share the first object I've completed in 2019! Nevermind that I started it over a year ago (can't remember exactly when) — it is finally a functional item in my room and not a random tangle of yarn hidden somewhere in my mess of a life that i occasionally bring out to work a half a round.
Originally I wanted this to be giant cushion, something I could lay on like a bean bag. However, as crocheting a giant round is rather boring — and I used up half my yarn is just making the base — I decided on letting it be significantly smaller. I made it through one big circle and most of the side wall before getting totally burnt out and moving on to other stuff, and working only intermittently on this for the past year or so. Recently I decided to hell with it and was hell bent on completing the decrease rows, which became increasingly easier to get through for obvious reasons. I finally finished this the day the stuffing arrived from Amazon.
I can't say it's prefect — I'm not happy that the loose gauge makes the white stuffing visible beneath the dark purple yarn and i was definitely using wrong stitch counts and even the hook at various points — but I am so happy that A) it's done, and B) it's so cozy and bouncy! I can't lay on it like originally intended, but I can sit on it and it is currently doing very well as a lapdesk while I type this.
