Crochet project

My friend Niki asked me if I could crochet an ottoman pouf for her. I've seen these all over the show on Apartment Therapy and so on, the pattern is easy but it's finding the right yarn that's difficult. In fact it's not yarn at all, I'm pretty sure you crochet/knit this with cords. I can't wait to go researching on the cords and start on this project. Speaking of projects, now that it's getting a bit colder, I'm wanting to buy more yarn and crochet some hats and scarves!!
