Love it! Beautiful! Yes, I'd want to cover it with plastic and I'm not an
old lady yet.

I suppose if I was the one who made them I'd let people sit on them. I
could knit another if one was stained.

It reminds me of the time when my kids were very little. I make wonderful
rolls for Thanksgiving and my kids wanted to eat some. I said no were
saving them for Thanksgiving. My daughter so sad said, "But mom you're the
roll maker. You could just make some more." She didn't know that it took
me about 6 hours to make a batch. But she was right and I gave them each 2
rolls and made another batch. Life's just too short to skimp on rolls and
not let people sit on beautiful knitted seats.

I've had the chairs for 27 years, and this is the third set of covers.
Yes, a more vigorous interior decorator would have recovered them more
often, but of the ones I put on 15 or so years ago, there's nothing
wrong with 2 out of 6. And some of what's wrong with the others is wear
and not stain. So I think once I knit 6, I'll be able to keep up.

I am thinking of spraying them with scotchgard, but so far not
vigorously enough to actually go look for my spray can.

Laura,

I only popped in here for a moment and happened to look at your lovely
seatcovers. Never thought of using a sweater pattern for a covering; what a
great idea. Perhaps I might try that in future as cushions on my kitchen
chairs, or throw pillows in the living room. (I'll have some time coming up
shortly, due to being laid off. Now, if I can get the ambition up. . . )
Your chairs are beautiful; thanks for showing them to us.

Regards,
Carey in MA
