Knitting Pillows!

A while back my grandmother showed me how to knit. I picked up the craft very quickly, with her great instructions and a book she bought me for Christmas. I started off with the intentions of making a blanket. I picked really bright colors because at the time that was what I liked. Red, orange, yellow green, blue, and purple were the colors I picked out. I started making knitted squares for my blanket, but after awhile of knitting eventually I went on to other crafts. A couple weeks ago, I finally sat down on my living room couch and started to knit. As I was sitting there I realized I should have made my squares a lot bigger. At the rate I was knitting; I would have my blanket done in three years. I was laying on a really comfy pillow at the time when it donned on me, why not make a knitted pillow? Really excited about the idea I counted and laid out all my knitted squares. I found an old travel pillow that I knew no one would miss and started sewing my pillow together! It was a great project, and I even used my first testing square for a pocket for a book! I put a cute flower button on it and I must say it is a super cute pillow!
If you know how to knit, try making a pillow! It is super easy and they turn out great! Here is mine.
