Well, we didn't really get a new couch, but we have these two old plasticy faux leather couches in the living room. The stuffing and structure is good, but the cheap plastic cover has been steadliy eroding and peeling off.
I scored some black linen a few months ago and recovered two of the worst cushions, but the rest have been falling into decline. Not willing to sink money into this house (anything in public use gets trashed anyway) I covered a third cushion with some denim material from jeans I had worn out and other roomates/friends. I finally put out a call at knitting night for any old jeans people had and luckily there was a girl who said she had a bag full to give away! There were about 7 or 8 pairs which was just about enough to cover the last 3 cushions plus a pair that fit me to wear! How awesome! Vertical stripes are very on trend now, Paul Smith, eat your heart out!
Also here as promised (I'm sure you were waitin with baited breath) a photo of Chris's neck warmer (also on Ravelry)
