Hello all!
Aside from feeling like s**t (migraine causing nausea and vomiting), I am watching more things on Hulu (which I am so loving!) Right now it's "The Listener" which is rather neat.
Now here is the major part of my blog: I was laying on our bed and I looked over at the chair, the one Dan gave me! It's something he saved from the dumpster and I love it. Aside from the stains and old fabric I love this chair. Granted the arm chairs could be a bit more comfy, but I love it none-the-less. Should I re-cover (what is it called again?) the chair? Should I knit the new cover? Should I find fabric and cover it? Do you take off the old fabric before you cover it? Do you fill in more foam/comfy-stuff? Man I wish someone would answer my questions with their opnions on how to do this.
Bye all!

As for what to do I have helped do it both ways. Taking the fabric off is a little more time consuming and then if the material that is below the fabric falls apart you risk having to get new foam/filling for it. Yet if your material is not thick enough to recover with then you risk seeing the other material through it so it can be a problem. How much foam you want is up to you. While I have recovered things I have never done a computer chair before and I have a feeling it would be a pain therefore you might be better off knitting a cover or sewing one and then slipping it over the chair. At least that way you could wash it if need be.
