I made 2 more of these Boucle Cushions! This time with 3 skeins of Bernat Illusions to make the 2 brown cushions. They fit 50cm X 50cm FJADRAR cushions, the feather ones they sell at Ikea for $5!! I thought the yarns were the same, but Bernat Illusions (brown) has less yardage than Bernat Soft Boucle (teal + brown mix). I also suspect Illusions is slightly heavier, because I used the machine again but this time I had some problem getting the yarn through the machine hooks. Once or twice, I used too much force and the yarn tore apart. Stashbusting Meter:
3 skeins of Bernat Illusions
I am trying really hard not to fall off the Stashbusting bandwagon but Knitomatic is having an attic clearout featuring up to 90% off on yarn!!!! EVIL!
By the way, Spring previews for Vogue Knitting and Knitting Simple are up. And Knit.1 is out!

diggin' the cushions. don't laff but, is there a pattern?
They look so cozy! I've been wanting to make some for ages but never get around doing it, so I'm having lots of nakes cushions for now ;)
I'm getting the idea of using up my stashed bulky yarn for cushion covers because yours look so comfy cushy. I just walked away from the Knit 1 magazine this morning although I was a little tempted by this cute polo T for my daughter :)
Love those wonderful cozy cushions. Very nice colors. I'm very tempted to check out Ikea now.
